Mumbai

Mumbai, earlier known as Bombay, is the largest city in India and the capital of Maharashtra state. Mumbai was originally a conglomeration of 7 islands on the Konkan coastline which over time were joined to form the island city of Bombay. The island was in turn joined with the neighbouring island of Salsette to form Greater Bombay. The city has an estimated metropolitan population of 17 million (2005), making it one of the largest cities in the world. Mumbai is also one of India's largest port cities and looms large as the commercial capital of India. Mumbai's nature as the most eclectic and cosmopolitan Indian city is symbolised in the presence of Bollywood within the city, the centre of the globally-influential Hindi film and TV industries.

Elephanta Caves

Elephanta Caves

Elephanta Island makes Mumbai an obligatory stop. The island, reachable within an hour by boat, has old rock-cut Hindu temples, shrines and caves that date back from the 6th century. The whole island is dedicated to the Hindu Lord Siva. The Elephanta Caves have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You can catch a boat at the Gateway of India.

Beware of monkeys on way to the caves, they will try to snatch any eatable that they see in your hand. Maharashtra Tourism development Corporation runs a toy train that takes you from the shore to the steps that you have to climb to reach the caves. It is nice place to go for a small photography excursion.
