Overview
Mumbai, or as it is still frequently referred to, Bombay, is the Capital
city of Maharashtra. Mumbai is the headquarter of countries’ Stock
Exchange and is an affluent Industrialized city. It is also referred as ‘The
Financial Capital of India’.
Its international seaport and natural harbor flourishes its Shipping
Industries while making it a prominent commercial base for many
multinational companies. Navy headquarters, important offices of Army, Air
Force, Coast Guard and offshore oilfield ‘Bombay High’ makes
Mumbai a city of strategic importance. This busy and crowded city is also
India’s answer to Hollywood, producing largest number of films in the
world each year.
Over the years, the city may have transformed itself into an unique
cosmopolitan and trendy entity but its heart is still drenched in timeless
art, culture and heritage and this contrasting nature of the city makes it a
famous art-exhibition center of the world. One thing that brings this
ever-moving city to halt is its heavy rainfall during June-August.
