Heena Hijda Mumbai Hijda Cages

Heena is a Hijda or Indian transgender prostitute.
She works at the Mumbai cages , a section facing the Falkland road that is the Hijda cages too.
I had met her while climbing a seedy building from where I shot my Cages pictures.She had accosted me as she knew my escorts, my escorts were from the underbelly of a trade remotely connected to this lane.

Heena had invited me to her room downstair, behind the Hijda cages , that was very spacious, huge and with all modern amenities.She introduced me to her Amma or Guru, was forthcoming in her hospitality, her girls were not willing to be photographed, but she gave in , thinking Iwas a fashion photographer too.
She was as plain as as a Hijda is , not yet decked up for the night..

She thought I was from some generous NGO offering financial aid.

I gave her my visiting card she was not sure I would remember her if she called me up.

But luckily they all knew my Hijda Guru Laxmi Narayan Tripathi.

Hijda Gully No 1 Kamatipura


A lane in KamathipuraKamathipura (also spelled Kamthipura) is Mumbai's oldest and Asia's largest red-light district. The area was set up by the British for their troops, which acted as their official "comfort zone". This small region boasted the most exotic consorts. When the British left India, the Indian sex workers took over.

Excerpt from the website accompanying Andrew Levine's documentary, 'The day my God died':

"I was in the middle of Kamthipura, the largest red light district in the world, and I didn’t even know it. With camera in hand, my girlfriend (who is now my wife) at my side, I was assaulted by smells and snapping away. Later I learned that every vile desire a man could dream of was for sale and child virgins were the region’s most noted delicacies."
Today, it is said that there are so many brothels in the area, that there is no space for the sex workers to sit in. They hang around in the streets, solicit customers and then rent a free bed.

The deceased Mr. Linganna Puttal Pujari (1915-1999), who migrated to Bombay from Nizamabad in Andhra Pradesh in the year 1928), a prominent social worker and city and state legislator, was largely responsible for most of the civic amenities available to the residents of Kamathipura today.

Some historical sources point out that the origin of slums, subsequently the red-light areas of Mumbai (previously Bombay) including Kamathipura is related to land acquisition, from the indigenous locals who were evicted from their farmlands and cattle-fields and forced themselves to live in congested conditions, for the development of the industrial harbor city. At the early stages, people accumulated in the new slums partly depended on constructions contracts. But later, as men became unemployed due to lack of job, more and more women turned up selling themselves in the red-streets of the town for livelihood. Now these streets are just playgrounds for human traffickers and mafia in addition to the economic refugees who came to these areas during the past years.
