Mumbai Tourism

Mumbai (Bombay), the capital of Maharashtra wears several hats or should we say crowns? Mumbai is not just India’s largest city, it is also its commercial capital, industrial powerhouse, busiest port, fashion capital, home to ‘Bollywood’ (India’s Hollywood), world’s biggest textile market. This beautiful mosque, with its serene environs, becomes a virtual island during high tide, situated as it is, a little past the beach line on the Arabian Sea. Access is through a long causeway. The saint, whose tomb it contains, is said to have been a wealthy businessman who renounced the material world. Legend has it that the saint died while on a pilgrimage to Mecca, but his coffin miraculously washed up at the place where the tomb now stands. The building's cool courtyard, the tinkling chandeliers and refreshment stalls are a visual treat. The mosque is also a favorite spot to catch the cool sea breeze.
