Mumbai

Mumbai, formerly Bombay, is the capital of Maharashtra and gateway to this beguiling sub-continent. Of the four great cities of India, Mumbai is the most cosmopolitan, spearheading India's move into the 20th century. The word Mumbai is derived from Mumbadevi, the patron goddess of the Koli fisher folk, the oldest inhabitants of Mumbai. The name Mumbai, in its final form, dates back to the l8th century. Mumbai was a cluster of seven islands called Heptanasia by Ptolemy in 150 A.D. Geologically, Mumbai forms a part of peninsular India, which is considered to be the oldest part of the country. The unique feature of Mumbai is that the city has been built up mainly by the efforts and monetary contributions of its citizens.
