Worli is a locality in South Mumbai, Maharashtra. The sea connects it with Bandra (closest suburb) via the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Historic spellings include Warli, Worlee, Varli, and Varel.[1] Originally Worli was a separate island, one of the Seven Islands of Bombay which were ceded by the Portuguese to England in 1661; it was linked up with the other islands in the 19th Century.
