Mumbai Maps

Mumbai is dubbed as the commercial capital of India and it also serves as the capital city of the state of Maharashtra. The city was created from seven islands and they are Mazagaon, Colaba, Wadala, Old Woman's Island, Parel, Mahim, and Matunga-Sion.

Currently, Mumbai City is the result of a significant extent of development carried out on the seven islands mentioned above. The city is famous for its historical background. However, the present of the city is just as luminous. The city has been given many sobriquets like the "city of dreams" or the "city that never sleeps". The reason behind this is the powerful existence of Bollywood or the Hindi film industry.

Today, Mumbai, or erstwhile Bombay ranks as the biggest metropolitan region in the country. The city is home to above 13 million people. As a result, Mumbai is among the most populous cities in the globe.
