Oshiwara is a neighbourhood in northern Mumbai, India near Lokhandwala Complex. Its name was derived from the Oshiwara River. Located between the western sides of Goregaon and Jogeshwari, it has many industrial estates. A railway station was built at Oshiwara, called Ram Mandir, for the Western Line of Mumbai Suburban Railway, providing service to the extended Andheri and Lokhandwala areas of the western suburbs.[1] Oshiwara is also known for its antique and second-hand furniture market.[2]

Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport operates a bus depot at Oshiwara.[3]
