Mumbai.......

Mumbai,
a cluster of seven islands, derives its name from Mumbadevi, the patron goddess
of the Koli fisher folk, its oldest inhabitants. Once a Portuguese princess'
dowry and later an adornment of neo-gothic British architecture, Mumbai today
is an enigma of mud huts and skyscrapers, age old traditions and high fashions,
the industrialists haven and movie makers Hollywood. Sightseeing in Bombay includes
a visit to the Gateway of India, Victoria Terminus, Dhobi Ghats and the Hanging
Gardens. The Gateway of India was built during 1924-1927 to commemorate the
visit to India of King George V of England in 1911. It is the most enduring
symbol of the city. Victoria Terminus, popularly known as VT, is a major railway
station and is considered the most beautiful edifice in the city.
