Mumbai, Financial capital in Maharashtra, India
Mumbai extends across a peninsula formed by seven former islands merged through land reclamation projects along the Arabian Sea coast.
The Portuguese transferred control of the seven islands to the British East India Company in 1661 as part of Catherine of Braganza's marriage dowry.
The Elephanta Caves on Mumbai Harbor's island showcase temples with Hindu sculptures carved between the 8th and 9th centuries into solid basalt rock.
The Mumbai Suburban Railway network carries over 7.5 million passengers daily through its extensive network of 459 kilometers of track length.
The Kanheri Caves in Sanjay Gandhi National Park contain 109 Buddhist cave temples carved into a massive basalt outcrop during the 1st century BCE.
