Travel & Resources: MUMBAI

Please help us keep our Mumbai listings up-to-date. Special thanks to Martin, Tay, Dev N Rajaa!

MUMBAI (Maharashtra) -- areacode +91-22

General Information

    Mumbai, India's financial capital, is probably the most progressive city in the country and appears to have a thriving scene. A good time to visit is in late Aug/early Sep for the Festival of Ganesh, when Hindus bathe Ganesh images in the surf. There are usually spontaneous gay gatherings along the beaches since gay men identify closely with the elephant-headed deity, who is known for destruction of obstacles.

    The population of metropolitan Mumbai is over 14 million people (that's over half a million Utopians).
