People throng the Mahim beach to experience the "sweetened" sea water in Mumbai. Late 18 August, crowds gathered along Mahim beach in India's financial hub, as locals said the water had lost its salty taste and become sweet which they attributed as a blessing from Makhdoom Ali Mahimi, a 14th-century Sufi saint in whose honour a shrine was built at Mahim.[AFP]
