Koli vendors along Nawab Tank Road, named after a tank constructed by Nawab Hyat (Ayaz) Khan's ancestors. Hyat worked for both Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali of Mysore. He surrendered the Bednore Fort to the East India Company during the Second Anglo-Mysore Wars. Hyat was shifted to Mazagon following the war, where he lived with his family, receiving an annual stipend of four thousand rupees from the government. He was called ‘Nawab’ by the local Muslims because of his affiliation with Hyder Ali.
