Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is a bustling port city on India’s west coast and the capital of Maharashtra. Originally a collection of seven islands inhabited by fishing communities, it was ceded to the British in 1661 and rapidly grew into a major trading hub under the East India Company. Today, it is India’s financial and entertainment capital, home to Bollywood and a vibrant mix of cultures and historical landmarks like the Gateway of India.
