Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) is the political capital of Maharashtra, and commercial capital of India. This great port city with its Victorian Gothic buildings from the British Raj Era mingling with the modern is known as the city of dreams, fantasies and fairy tales. Pavement dwellers and slums coexist with modem skyscrapers and gracious colonial buildings, obsolete textile mills with impressive modem factories, Christian churches with Hindu temples in a medley of contradictions that makes Mumbai a product of the Indian past that holds the key to the present and the future. Mumbai city hums with activity, and its more than eight million residents and three million commuters seem to be constantly on the move.
