History

Amboli was primarily inhabited by Christians, East Indians and tribal people called Waarlis. There were a handful of houses in and around the village. Amboli was laden with green fields and numerous mango and coconut trees. The name Amboli also stemmed from the fact that there was a massive mango orchard in the neighbourhood.

During the late 1980s and early '90s the area was also notorious for gang rivalries, especially the Amboli village.

One of the most notable attractions of Amboli is the Church of St. Blaise . A Bollywood film studio "Filmalaya" (owned by Mukherjee-Samarth family) is located on Caesar Road in Amboli.

gollark: I don't even know. Our current "AI" systems don't really seem like, well, anything comprehensible to humans?
