MUMBAI, previously called Bombay, is the commercial capital of India.

Home to Bollywood, it is a city filled with sights and sounds. Besides the concrete towers, clubs and discos, the city offers visitors a colourful look into its rich cultural and historical heritage.

Take a look at some holiday snaps from our writer?s travels there.
