The area occupied by Mumbai three hundred years ago was 7 islands inhabited by Koli fisherman and their families. With land reclamation the islands were connected, so that now Bombay occupies a thin isthmus. The British acquired these marshy islands for a pittance. Mumbadevi or Mumbai was part of Catherine of Braganza’s marriage dowry when she married Charles II in 1661. Four years later, the British took possession of the remaining islands and neighboring mainland area and in 1668 the East India Company leased the whole area for 10 pounds per year.

Day 2 In Mumbai
Morning after breakfast excursion to Elephanta caves.
An hours boat ride from the Gateway, the tranquil forested island of Elephanta is one of the most atmospheric places in Bombay. Populated only by a small fishing community it makes a wonderful contrast to the seething claustrophobia of the city, even when crowded with day-trippers at weekends. Originally known as Gharapuri, the island was renamed in the sixteenth century by the Portuguese in honor of the carved elephant they found at the port. Its chief attraction is the unique cave temple whose massive Trimurti Shiva sculpture is a fine example of Hindu architecture. The cave temples were excavated between the 5th and 8th centuries. The island is just an hour away by motor launch and the caves are reached by a stairway up the hillside from the ferry landing
After half day city tour of Mumbai.
Visit Start with a stop at the Gateway of India –a Indo – Sarcenic style of architecture (1927), designed by George Wittet to commemorate the visit of George V and Queen Mary in 1911, drive, past the Victoria Terminus the most remarkable example of Victorian Gothic architecture in India opened during Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee Year, Marine Drive and visit the Hanging Gardens so named since they are located on top of a series of tanks that supply water to Bombay.
