चोरबाज़ार, located in South Mumbai near Grant Road, is one of India’s oldest and most iconic flea markets, renowned for its unique blend of history and culture. The market's origins date back to the 19th century during British colonial rule. Initially known as शोरबाज़ार (noisy market) due to its bustling atmosphere and lively vendors, its name was famously mispronounced by the British as “Chor Bazaar,” which means “thieves’ market” in Hindi.
