:''This article is about the place in Mumbai, Maharashtra India. For the place in Delhi, India, see Tilak Nagar (Delhi)''. Tilak Nagar (Hindi: तिलक नगर, Marathi: टिळक नगर) is a residential colony in suburban Mumbai. There is also a railway station on the Harbour Line of the Mumbai suburban railway by this name. Named after freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak is a suburban area in Mumbai, India. It was planned and built in the 1960s as a lower-middle-class colony, chiefly composed of chawls. The colony is now getting a facelift as the chawls are being pulled down to be replaced with residential high-rises and towers. There is also increased commercial development in the colony over the last decade. Tilak Nagar has lavish gardens and playgrounds. It is famous for its Ganpati festivals. Most of the population of Tilak Nagar is Maharashtrians and South Indians. ==Geography== Earlier a calm and quiet locality with ample open spaces, haphazard construction of new buildings in every open space has resulted in a congested locality with few open spaces. The colony is bounded by Shell Colony to the south, Vidyavihar to the north, Pestom Sagar to its east and New Tilak Nagar and Kurla to its west. It was formerly known as "Township colony". New Tilak Nagar is also a colony situated inside Tilak Nagar. Postal code of Tilak Nagar is 400089. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tilak Nagar (Mumbai)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
