 The city of Bombay, in west central India on the coast of the Arabian Sea, is the capital of the state of Maharashtra. In the 17th century, the area was ceded to Charles II of England by the Portuguese Princess as part of her marriage dowry.

 Subsequently, the British East India Company received it from the crown and developed it as the gate of the Indian commerce.

 Bombay Island was created in the 19th century by reclamation projects that combined seven islets.

 Bombay ('the Good Bay') was officially renamed Mumbai (the same meaning in the local language) in 1995. The center of the city can be found in the lower left of the image.
