Madanpura’s fading handloom history is being preserved through an archive and documentary project by the Bhendi Bazar Research Academy. Once known for thousands of looms, the central Mumbai neighbourhood saw its textile industry decline due to yarn shortages and rising costs. The initiative aims to document the Julaha community’s contribution to Mumbai’s social history.
