Mumbai, until recently known as Bombay, derives
its name from the local deity Mumba Devi, whose
temple still exists. The name Bombay is also believed
to have come from the Portuguese who preferred
to think of the name as ‘Bom Baim’
- the Good Bay. It is said that the Portuguese
presented Mumbai to King Charles II of England
as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza.
The British East India Company then leased it
from the Crown, and developed the small fishing
villages and natural harbors into Bombay, the
subcontinent’s busiest port and the region’s
centre for trade, finance and industry.
In the afternoon, you will be taken for
a city tour of Mumbai, visiting The Gateway
of India - built to commemorate the visit of King
George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911; The
Prince of Wales Museum – opened in 1923
and built to commemorate King George's V visit;
The Jehangir Art Gallery - which displays paintings
of modern Indian artists. Drive past the Flora
Fountain (Mumbai’s nerve centre); the ever
bustling Crawford Market and along Marine Drive,
also called the ‘Queen’s Necklace’.
Your tour concludes at ‘Dhobi Ghats’
– the open air laundries where you will
see row upon row of concrete wash pens, each fitted
with its own flogging stone. Almost two hundred
‘dhobis’ (washer men) and their families
work together in what has always been a hereditary
occupation.
