The Incredible Juhu Beach of India
Posted by Brody on July 1, 2009Juhu Beach in India is a site that draws many to her shores and provides such accomodations as the India five star hotels. A bit of a play on words, as many come to this beach in order to capture, or attempt to capture, the beauty of the colors, on the static frame of canvas. Many artists come to India to paint, which given the array of color and beauty it is no wonder. The tubes of paint necessary for one setting up their easel on Juhu beach must include and assortment of blues, as the waves which hit the beach night and day are brilliant turquoise, with strokes of green and purple.
This particular section of the Indian coastline will wash away the tensions and worries of a world that is becoming so modern that parents communicate with their children more via text messages than actual conversation. Juhu is in close proximity to other local beaches as well, equally serene and colorful, such as Santa Cruz, Andheri, and Vile Parle. The sunsets here, pull out the canvas and the paints once again, for to capture a sunset off of the Juhu shore is a bit like capturing a small part of heaven to bring home. The horizon line seems to go on endlessly, and the warmth of the oranges and reds is simply out of this world. From, literally, out..of..this..world, ethereal. The sun falling into the Arabian Sea will be a vision of India that will grace, and haunt, ones memory for the rest of their lives.
Once the sun sets, the air shifts a bit, as the serenity gives way to celebration. Ferry rides are available, similar to those at Chowpatty Beach. Also similar are the food stalls and the local chefs, and grandmothers, cooking on the beach the most delightful tidbits. Many of which will lead foreigners to search out the best Indian restaurants of their home towns once they return from vacation, for once one experiences the taste, one will have a taste for India for the rest of their lives. On the week end, the atmosphere is even more festive as the vendors and the acrobats take to the streets, and cricket games are taken up on the sand. This is such a hot spot in the country that, as in the U.S. film industry Malibu Beach has frequently appeared in the movies of Hollywood, Bollywood film makers film Juhu regularly, such as in the Danny Boyle film, “Slumdog Millionaire”.
