Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra and the commercial capital of India, is a city that virtually never sleeps, with a presence of interminable chaos and action.  Generating the maximum share of India's revenue, it is home to the country's largest production houses, stock exchanges and sea port.

With a golden history dating back centuries, Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) never fails to mesmerize its visitors amidst the heritage monuments, parks, museums, shopping malls, beaches, lakes and a natural harbour.
