The term Santa Cruz comes from the Portuguese words meaning “Holy Cross”, a reference to a 150-year-old Cross located on Chapel lane in Santacruz. The then British Government set up RAF Santacruz, a military airfield, in 1942. It was home to several RAF squadrons during World War II from 1942 to 1947. The airfield was transferred to the Indian Government for civilian use upon Independence and came to be known as Santa Cruz airport, the city’s main airport. Let’s find out what Santa Cruz market is famous for.

Best Bridal Wear Dresses in Santa Cruz Market
You can certainly find some of the best Mumbai shops for wedding wear dresses in this market. There is a row of popular shops at a particular junction.

There is also TribhovanDas Bhimji Zaveri, one of the top jewellery houses of India, which is situated on SV Road.
Santa Cruz Market Shopping
The main SV Road is a busy thoroughfare and parking is a challenge. There is the Sacred Heart Boys High School and Sacred Heart Church on this road. The Station Road is even more crowded with shops lined on either side of the road. There are shops for costume /imitation jewellery, cotton dresses & tops, cotton nighties and baby’s and children’s dresses and of course utensils and all household plastic goods. Mumbai shopping for footwear, shoes and sandals can also be done here.
The jootis or the traditional Indian footwear are available in plenty. They are closed shoes with some patterns on the top. While there are several street shops and the prices there are very reasonable, the quality of the products is not guaranteed. Caveat Emptor is the policy that is practiced. The garments and sandals could last a season. There would be no guarantee beyond that.
Further, there are several autos that ply the route to & from the Santacruz station. The vehicles travel at great speed and pedestrians are advised to be careful while walking here. This road is chaotic and noisy.
