	'''Khar''' is an affluent [[suburb]] of [[Mumbai]], north of [[Bandra]] and south of [[Santacruz, Mumbai]]. Originally one of the 'villages' that made up the larger Bandra, the present suburb is divided into Khar West and Khar East areas. It is serviced by [[Khar Road]] railway station of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] network. It is an area within convenient distances of several schools, restaurants, parks, promenades and shopping centres. Khar bears the Mumbai Postal Index Number (Pin Code) 400052.		'''Khar''' (Marathi pronunciation: [[Help:IPA/Marathi\|[kʰaːɾ]]]) is an affluent [[suburb]] of [[Mumbai]], north of [[Bandra]] and south of [[Santacruz, Mumbai]].

	Khar, which is derived from the word '~~Khara~~' (meaning 'salty' in the local language [[Marathi language\|Marathi]]) has acquired this name in reference to the salt pans that were used to farm salt by locals near the [[Khar Danda]] sea shore a couple of centuries ago. Here, one also finds the historic fishing village of "[[Khar Danda]]", which is one of the villages that made up the original Bandra area and is also one of the oldest settlements of Mumbai.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://kharwest.com/blog/khar-danda-khar-west/\|title=Khar Danda {{!}} KharWest.com - Khar West Local News~~\|website=web.archive.org~~\|url-status=live\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110042336/http://kharwest.com/blog/khar-danda-khar-west/\|archive-date=2013-11-10\|access-date=2020-04-27}}</ref>		Khar, which is derived from the word ''Khāra'' (meaning 'salty' in the local language [[Marathi language\|Marathi]]) has acquired this name in reference to the salt pans that were used to farm salt by locals near the [[Khar Danda]] sea shore a couple of centuries ago.

	[[Pathare Prabhus]] were one of the earliest inhabitants of Khar, from almost a century and half ago. In the early 1900s, the Pathare Prabhu community lived in South Mumbai and used their quaint bungalows in Khar as weekend dwellings. [[Khar Danda]] was one of the original villages of the erstwhile larger Bandra. Back then, the local Bandra railway station was felt distant to alight from trains and hire 'tangas' (horse carriages) to get to these bungalows in the Khar part of Bandra. Keeping these factors in mind, as well as the growing number of homes in this part, a second railway station named 'Khar Road' was introduced in north Bandra on 1 July 1924.

'''Khar''' is an affluent [[suburb]] of [[Mumbai]], north of [[Bandra]] and south of [[Santacruz, Mumbai]]. Originally one of the 'villages' that made up the larger Bandra, the present suburb is divided into Khar West and Khar East areas. It is serviced by [[Khar Road]] railway station of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] network. It is an area within convenient distances of several schools, restaurants, parks, promenades and shopping centres. Khar bears the Mumbai Postal Index Number (Pin Code) 400052.

Khar, which is derived from the word 'Khara' (meaning 'salty' in the local language [[Marathi language|Marathi]]) has acquired this name in reference to the salt pans that were used to farm salt by locals near the [[Khar Danda]] sea shore a couple of centuries ago.
