Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the epitome of India’s cultural and historical presence. As a city in Southern India, it is an amazing spectacle of variety, religion, colour, and architecture. Mumbai is the financial, cultural, and fashion centre of India. In this vibrant city are the most exotic people and sights. Although more than half of Mumbai’s population lives in poverty, it does not cease to thrive and progress as many other Indian cities do. The city is wealthy in the sense that it is filled with many types of consumers. Here, the bizarre and the normal walk side by side day and night. The enigmatic face of the city is one that draws many adventurous guests and backpackers.

The everyday scenes of Mumbai are fantastic and are great for photographers and travellers alike. The national Hindu festival, known as Diwali/The Festival of Lights, is one of the world’s largest and most stunning festivals. It is celebrated for five days in either October or November. This Hindu festival celebrates the triumph of good over all evil. The period of preparation for the festival is somewhat rigorous. The city’s most attractive spots are cleaned and decorated for the highly anticipated event. It is something absolutely no one should miss while they are in India.
