About
Venue identity
The auditorium and Bal Gandharva names belong to the same complex near Patwardhan Udyan. The operator records the auditorium’s first show in August 2016. Use the venue name and your event details together when booking or asking for directions.
Inside the auditorium
The published capacity is 687 seats, divided between 486 stalls seats and 201 balcony seats, with family boxes in the balcony. Compare the organiser’s seating plan before choosing a category, especially if a particular position matters to your visit.
Choose a programme
Theatre, instrumental or vocal recitals and dance performances offer different experiences. Read the event’s language, duration, age guidance and content description. A familiar venue name does not establish that every production will suit every audience member.
Admission and timing
Ticket prices depend on the event and seating category. Use the advertised performance time and booking conditions, then allow time for ticket checks and finding your seat. General venue operating hours do not establish public sightseeing access or a daily show.
Wider arts
The complex also contains a fourth-floor exhibition hall and spaces for music, dance and drama training. Check separately advertised activities before including them in your plan; attending a performance does not automatically include a class, exhibition or access to other rooms.
Arrival
The operator’s address is the junction of 24th and 32nd Road, near Patwardhan Udyan, Bandra West, Mumbai 400050. Use the full venue identity rather than another auditorium with a similar name. Bandra railway station provides a practical suburban-rail arrival point.
Visitor checks
Ask the venue about current parking availability and any assistance you need reaching your booked seat. Confirm recording, photography and late-admission arrangements with the organiser, since these depend on the production. Keep the visit centred on the public programme you have booked.
