Citizens use gestures to depict puddle, rain, and wind phenomena.

Mumbai has introduced Monsoon Mime Classes, a program where residents perform expressive gestures reflecting rain, puddles, and gusts of wind. According to The Times of India, instructors provide step-by-step guidance, props, and choreography to enhance urban engagement during monsoons.

Participants report amusement, stress relief, and creativity. Organizers ensure safety, structured routines, and accessibility. Critics question feasibility in busy areas, but advocates highlight urban cultural enrichment, physical activity, and social interaction. Future expansions include street festivals, competitions, and online showcases of performances.
