Pydhonie
is a quarter in South Mumbai.
Etymologically the name is derived from the Marathi words py which means 'feet', and dhoné which means 'to wash'. Thus the name means 'a place where feet are washed.' Pydhonie separates the predominantly Muslim population of the eastern part of the inner city from the mainly Hindu part to the west. The main landmark is the Mumbadevi Temple, moved here from the Fort area in 1737 or 1766.
