About Mumbai
Welcome to the
Mumbai, city that never sleeps! Pulsating, Alive,
On the Move, Vibrant, Fun - this is Mumbai or as it is still frequently
referred to - Bombay. The most modern city in India, it captures the spirit
of the changing pace set by liberalization and modernisation. Once a cluster
of seven islands, Mumbai was presented to King Charles II in 1661 as part
of the dowry when he married Princess Catherine de Braganza of Portugal.
Places of Tourist Interest in Mumbai
Gateway of India
Mumbai's most striking monument, this too was designed by George Wittet.
It has an imposing gateway arch in the Indo-Saracenic style with Gujarati
and Islamic elements such as wooden carvings. It was built to commemorate
the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911. This area is
also the departing point for ferries plying to Elephanta Island and other
beaches across the port. Behind it is the beautiful old (and new) structure
of the Taj Mahal Hotel.
Marine Drive
and Chowpatty Beach
This is the stretch now known as Netaji Subhashchandra Bose Road with Nariman
Point on one end to Babulnath, at the foot of Walkeshwar on the other. For
the most part, a pleasant promenade continues along the beach with the Chowpatty
area situated somewhat in the middle. Chowpatty Beach is a teeming mass
of people, vendors, masseurs and roadside restaurants with its specialties
being bhelpuri and kulfi. Across the Chowpatty Beach area is the Taraporewala
Aquarium. Marine Drive is also referred to as the Queen's Necklace because
of the dramatic line of street lamps lit up at night.
Haji Ali Shrine
Further along the seashore, at the end of a long pathway surrounded by seawater
is the shrine dedicated to Haji Ali, a Muslim saint. Access is only at low
tide via the pathway.
Siddhivinayak Temple
Located in the Prabha Devi area of Mumbai, this popular temple dedicated
to Ganesh was rebuilt on the site of a 200-year old temple. Built of black
stone, the idol of Ganesh is two and a half feet in height and two feet
in width. An unusual feature of the statue is that the trunk turns to the
right, not often found on Ganesh idols. Tuesday is the main day of darshan
and puja, but this temple is frequented by hundreds of devotees everyday.
Juhu Beach
This suburban beach is great favourite with Mumbaites, and has plenty to
offer everyone. Like Marine Drive's Chowpatty, Juhu 'Chowpatty' is a vendor's
delight with innumerable food counters. It is a wonderful place to bring
kids, as it doubles up as an amusement park, play ground, and open-air restaurant.
An unusual sight at this beach is the camel ride, which is both fun and
popular.
