Travel Tips Mumbai or Bombay, city in western India, capital of Mah芒r芒shtra State and premier port of India, located on the Arabian Sea.

Dredging and reclamation projects, as well as the construction of breakwaters and causeways, have linked the islands into a contiguous stretch of land known as Bombay Island.
