Welcome to Mumbai

Namaskaar, and welcome to Mumbai , India's most dynamic and cosmopolitan metropolis. The capital city of Maharashtra state, lies in the southwestern part of India and occupies  a peninsular site originally composed of seven islets lying off the Konkan coast of western India. Here, amidst multi-storied buildings which kiss the sky exists a frenetic lifestyle, multicultural society and a plethora of festivals and celebrations. While in Mumbai, take in the glamour of Bollywood ( Hindi Movies), try a game of cricket at the 'maidans, enjoy the popular snack Bhelpuri on the Chowpatty beach, take a joyride on the red double-decker BEST buses or, enjoy the trendy pubs and bars. Once you have come to Mumbai, you should visit the popular attractions of India's commercial capital.

The young, lively and confluence of varied cultural currents give Mumbai the unique position of being the most multi-ethnic city of India/. Oozing with the cocksure self-confidence of a maverick moneymaker and "bindas" (carefree) attitude, Mumbai is also the country's financial and commercial hub and is a principal part of the Arabian Sea.

Mumbai's cultural tlide reflects its ethnically diverse population. It is truly multicultural and representatives of almost every religion and region of the world can be found in Mumbai. Mumbai has a number of museums, libraries, literary and other cultural institutions, art galleries, and theatres and perhaps no other city in India can boast of such a high degree of variety and quality in its cultural and entertainment facilities. Mumbai is also the stronghold of the Indian Film Industry. Throughout the year, Western and Indian music concerts and festivals and Indian dance shows are performed here. Mumbai has a cultural calendar that rivals that of some of the most happening cities worldwide
