Vile Parle, is a suburb and also the name of the railway station in the Western suburb of Mumbai. Vile Parle has a significantly strong base of Marathi population. In 1862, Ghodbunder Road was built; it connected Bandra at the west, to Ghodbunder Fort making commuting to and from the suburbs easier. Yet the traffic was sparse. There was a parking lot at Pali naka. People used to travel by bullock-carts, horse-carts, or in palanquins. Travelling at night was risky. All vehicles had to pay toll at the old Khar naka. Vehicles plied in convoys as if they were in a procession.
