Historic Mumbai!
--
From
A Sleepy Koli fishing hamlet to the financial capital of India, Mumbai
has come a long way. The Portugese who were its earlier occupants gave
it its name – ‘Bom Bai’ or ‘The Good Bay’. Initially an archipelago of 7
islands, this port city rose to prominence after the British East India
Company deemed it fit for trading and shifted base from Surat. After a
series of reclamations and massive construction efforts, Bombay became
what is it today – A mega metropolis. Join us in capturing this iconic
journey, through seamless images of the past & the present.
The Archipelago and Its reclamation: The 7 islands of Colaba , Mazagaon, Old Woman’s Island, Wadala, Mahim, Parel, and Matunga-Sion, underwent a series of reclamations, forming the island city of Mumbai that we see today.
