Billiards & Snooker – The Mecca of Indian Cue Sports
The P. J. Hindu Gymkhana Billiards Room is proudly regarded as the “Mecca of Billiards in India”, a title earned through its unparalleled legacy and consistent contribution to the sport.
From Sir Wilson Jones, India’s first-ever World Champion in any sport, to the current generation of internationally acclaimed cueists, our Billiards Room has been home to legends across eras.
With eight full-sized billiards tables under one roof, P. J. Hindu Gymkhana stands unmatched in both the quality and quantity of its playing facilities — a benchmark no other club in India has achieved.
Our players have brought immense pride to the club by winning numerous international titles and Mumbai Inter-Club Billiards & Snooker League championships over the decades.
