Comprising seven islands on India’s Southwest coast, Mumbai is the financial, commercial, and culinary capital of India and principal port of the Arabian Sea.
The nation’s most populous city, and growing by an estimated 300 families per day, Mumbai is dubbed India's “City of Dreams” for its migrant community arriving in search of a better life. Formally known as Bombay, the megatropolis is home to Bollywood’s entertainment industry producing up to three film features daily, where gold and diamonds are an economic staple, and deeply-rooted in Buddhism and Hinduism, moving on a scale and at a pace far beyond Western comprehension.
