Bombay - Political capital of Maharastra, and commercial capital of India, Mumbai is many cities in one. As the world's largest textile market, a major industrial centre and the country's busiest port handling over 40% of Indian maritime trade. Bombay has no recorded ancient past. From time to time there were only scattered settlements on the island till the Portuguese presented Mumbai as a part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza, bride of Charles II in 1661. Over the next 150 Years, the seven original islands were gradually joined together. The city received a tremendous impetus with the commissioning of India's first railway in 1854

Bombay's colonial legacy is the Gateway of India built to commemorate the Royal visit of George V and Queen Mary in 1911. The Taj Mahal hotel opposite the Gateway was built in 1903 by Jamashedji N. Tata, founder of a prestigious industrial house, to counter a ban on Indian entering the then famous Watson's hostelry. The Prince of Wales Museum commemorates George V's first visit to India in 1905, houses collection of Indian sculpture, miniature painting and Nepalese and Tibetian art
