| About Maharashtra Tourism |
|
The state of Maharashtra is located on the west coast of India and reaches deep into the centre of peninsular India. Maharashtra shares it is borders with Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Goa. The coastal strip along the Arabian Sea, flanked by the hills called Western Ghats on the east is a culturally distinct region called Konkan. Commercially, Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are the best-developed cities. Mumbai, or Bombay, is the capital of Maharashtra, the biggest metropolis and the financial capital of India,
with the country's biggest stock exchange. The coastal city occupies
land reclaimed from what used to be seven separate islands.
Cosmopolitan Mumbai
is home to all: from fishmongers to the country's topmost
industrialists; from colonial buildings like the Gateway of India or
Victoria Terminus to vibrant pubs and night-life; from dwindling ethnic
communities like Parsis to the ever-growing Hindi film industry
popularly called Bollywood.
