Formerly known as Bombay, the city of Mumbai is the state capital of Maharashtra and the most populous city in India. This coastal city along the Arabian Sea is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital of the country. Mumbai is a cosmopolitan metropolis and its stature is amplified by the presence of Bollywood, the center of the Hindi film and TV industries. Mumbai was an epicenter of Islamic rule and colonial Portuguese and British empires from 13th to mid-20th century. These empires carved out their respective architectural niches in the city, a fact that is evident in their monuments and statues that stand till date.
