The City Of Mumbai

Built over an ancient settlement, the city of Mumbai has grown into the most populous city in India.

Mumbai is the capital city of the state Maharashtra, in southwestern India, and has become the country’s commercial and financial centre. India’s main harbour on the Arabian Sea is also located in Mumbai.

The city gained the name Mumbai from the name of the local goddess, Mumba, one of the forms of Parvati, consort to Lord Shiva, one of the main Hindu deities. Later, during the period of British Colonialism, the city became known as Bombay.

This name could either be a corrupted English version of Mumbai or perhaps a Portuguese reference to the harbour, Bom Baim meaning Good Harbour. In 1995 the city was renamed Mumbai once again, though Bombay is still commonly used.

Mumbai is situated on Bombay Island, which was once seven islets, by the western Indian coast of Konkan. In the seventeenth century a project began to connect the islets, via draining, reclamation, breakwaters and causeways. This project formed Bombay Island.

Mumbai is one of the many cities that experiences monsoon, from June until September, also known as the rainy season. The photograph showcased was taken during the monsoon season in Mumbai by photographer MB Steyn.
