Mumbai
Welcome to Mumbai. Fifteen million people live in Mumbai - industrialists,
film-stars, artists, workers, teachers and clerks - all living cheek-by-jowl in
soaring skyscrapers and sprawling slums. They come from diverse ethnic
backgrounds and speak over a dozen tongues, adding colour, flavour and texture
to the Great Mumbai Melting Pot. If you want to visit India, Lavasa hotels are affordable accommodations for your vacation!
The Mumbai's most famous monument, this is the starting point for
most tourists who want to explore the city. It was built as a
triumphal arch to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen
Mary, complete with four turrets and intricate latticework carved
into the yellow basalt stone. Ironically, when the Raj ended in
1947, this colonial symbol also became a sort of epitaph: the last
of the British ships that set sail for England left from the
Gateway. Today this symbol of colonialism has got Indianised,
drawing droves of local tourists and citizens.Behind the arch, there
are steps leading down to the water. Here, you can get onto one of
the bobbing little motor launches, for a short cruise through
Mumbai's splendid natural harbour.
