An art installation, in the form of a statue paying tributes to the ubiquitous Dabbawalas (tiffin carriers) of Mumbai, was unveiled today.

The work is part of a private art foundation in partnership with Mumbai municipal corporation and is located at Haji Ali.

A creation of Mumbai-based sculptor Valay Shende, the installation is a tribute to Dabbawalas, the network of lunch-delivery men who ferry lunch boxes from homes to offices and back with precision and efficiency that has earned them accolades.

Shende's Dabbawala is a 13-feet sculpture made of stainless steel discs.
