EP8: Nana Builds a City of Wonder!

What do a lost museum, a forgotten play, and a public garden have in common? They were all part of one man’s dream to make Mumbai magical. 🌳🎭📚 In this episode, Thea and her parents travel back to 19th-century India to uncover how Jagannath “Nana” Shankarshet (Sunkersett) helped build the city’s very first museum, theatre, and green spaces.

But how did he inspire artists, writers, and even children to believe in beauty? And what secret does Mumbai’s oldest garden still hold today?

Listen to this kids' history podcast and discover how one quiet visionary turned Mumbai into a city that thinks, dreams, and blooms.
