Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is thcapital city of the Indian
state of Maharashtra. It is themost populous city in India, and the
fourth most populous city in the world, with a total metropolitan area
population of approximately 20.5 million. Along with the neighbouring
urban areas, including the cities of Navi Mumbai and Thane, it is one
of the most populou surban regions in the world. Mumbai lies on the
westcoast of India and has a deep natural harbour. In 2009, Mumbai was
named an Alpha world city. It is also the wealthiest city in India,
and has the highest GDP of any city in South,Westor Central Asia.
Mumbai has been ranked 6th among top 10 global cities on billionaire
count, ahead of Shanghai, Paris and Los Angeles.
The seven islands that came to constitute Mumbai were home to
communities of fishing colonies. For centuries, the islands were under
the control of successive indigenous empires before being ceded to the
Portuguese and subsequently to the British East India Company. During
the mid-18th century, Mumbai was reshaped by the Hornby Vellard
project, which undertook the reclamation of the area between the seven
constituent islands from the sea. Completed by 1845, the project along
with construction of major roads and railways transformed Bombay into
a major seaport on the Arabian Sea. Economic and educational
development characterised the city during the 19th century. It became
a strong base for the Indian independence movement during the early
20th century. When India became independent in 1947, the city was
incorporated into Bombay State. In 1960, following the Samyukta
Maharashtra movement, a new state of Maharashtra was created with
Bombay as capital. The city was renamed Mumbai in 1996, the name being
derived from the Koli goddess—Mumbadevi.
city of Mumbai, dedicated to the goddess Mumbā, the local incarnation
of the Devi"l" 'Woman' (Mother Goddess). Marathi Mumbāderives from
Sanskrit Mahā-Ambā (or short A stop to 'Mahaa-Amber')" Great Mother",
and Mumbaīcombines the name withaī, the Marathi for "mother".
While Hindu sects devoted to the goddess Mumbadevi are attested to as
far back as the 15th century, it is said that the temple was built in
1675 near the main landing site of the former Bori Bunder creek
against the north wall of the English Fort Saint George by a Hindu
woman also named Mumba. The creek and fort are now deteriorated to a
point at which they are but derelict reminders of the city's past. The
temple, on the other hand, is still active.
The goddess Mumba was patron of the agri (salt collectors) and kolis
(fisherfolk), the original inhabitants of the seven islands of Bombay.
She is depicted as a black stone sculpture in the temple. An etymology
of Mumba that is popular is"Maha Amba (In to Slang 'Amber foreward to
Alert'),"or "Great Mother," one of the many of India's more well-known
names for the Hindu Mother Goddess ( Devi"l" As noted in The Holy
Bible in Book of Revelation Chapter 12). Located in Bhuleshwar area in
South Mumbai, the temple is in the heart of the steel and clothing
markets. It is a sacred pilgrimage spot and place of worship for
Hindus and is thus visited daily by hundreds of people. It is not
uncommon for visitors of Mumbai to pay their respects at the temple
and is one of the popular tourist destinationsin the city.
Mumbai (Marathi); of Portuguese words and Bom Bahia, meaning "good
harbor" .This temple is dedicated to city's patron Goddess Mumbadevi.
The temple of Mumbadevi, once stood on the site of the present
Victoria Terminus in the central island which was called Mumbai. The
temple was built in honour of Mumbadevi, the patron goddess of the
Koli fishermen believed to be the original inhabitants of Mumbai. The
original temple was built in 1737 was demolished and a new temple
erected in its place at Bhuleshwar.
Terrorized by these unwelcome visits, the locals pleaded with Lord
Brahmato protect them. Brahma then "pulled out of his own body", an
eight armed goddess who vanquished the Mumbaraka. Brought to his
knees, Mumbaraka implored the goddess to take his name and built a
temple in her honour.
