The City of Dreams. Mumbai is a cluster of seven islands and derives its name from ‘Mumbadevi’, the patron Goddess of the Koli fisherfolk, its oldest inhabitants. Mumbai pulsates with activity. It is a city that is disciplined by no time frame neither day nor night. The harbour and widebay between the city and its mainland has allowed Mumbai to be a natural shipping and trading centre. Mumbai is the bubblegum glamour of Bollywood cinema, shopping malls full of designer labels, cricket on the Oval Maidan, promenading families eating bhelpuri on the beach at Chowpatty, red double-decker buses queuing in grinding traffic jams and the infamous cages of the red-light district.
