#Mumbai #India #Bollywood Mumbai is a really cool, hip city that's India's most populous but richest. It's home to Bollywood, movie stars, with great food, a bounty of Indo-Gothic, #artdeco and modern architecture, beautiful ocean sunsets, etc. Here's some of the good and bad. 1/
2/ #Mumbai #Bombay #ThenAndNow #BeforeAndAfter I overlaid maps from 1750, 1893, etc. atop my Google Maps composite. The original "fort" is still visible. Note Victoria Terminus (now Shivaji Terminus), Churchgate Station, etc. Click to zoom for detail.
3/ #Mumbai #architecture #trains – Mumbai/Bombay, India’s massive and soaring 1878 Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus) train station is a #UNESCO site and took ten years to build. You might recognize it from movie #SlumdogMillionaire! Jai Ho!
4/ #Mumbai: The adjacent grand Indo-Gothic #Bombay Municipal Corporation at night. The first is bathed in blue light while the other is bathed in yellow. Both are stunning. The famous Kala Ghoda (Black Horse) isn't too far. #Architecture #TravelBlogger
5/ #Mumbai #India #architecture - A bit more Indo-Gothic architecture in the "fort" district (downtown) of Mumbai / Bombay. It's really rather stunning. I didn't appreciate it as much when I would visit when I was younger.
6/ #Mumbai - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sanghralaya (formerly the Prince of Wales Museum). This might be India's best #history museum, but we didn't have time to visit. British architect George Wittet thoughtfully used Indo-Islamic #architecture.
