There’s so many things to see and do in Mumbai, that it’s impossible to even try.  It’s one of the world’s most remarkable cities, with a dense and vibrant urban population, and you can see all walks of life here.  It’s very difficult to come to India and not be changed in some significant way.  There is an energy here that is very magnetic, and there are possibilities for finding a spectacular calm, and these extremes can show you why so many people are drawn to this particular spot on the planet.  It’s endlessly fascinating, and often extremely baffling, where contradictions seem to exist at every turn, yet it still flows on, in an endless stream of creative human activity.

It’s lovely to be here, but it’s also nice to have fine accommodations, where you can rest at the end of the day and refresh the body and mind for more adventures in Mumbai.  Bombay hotel hospitality is famous, and you’ll find yourself enjoying the splendid treatment from the fine staff, and look forward to waking up in splendor.  There is a delicate art to hotel design, where it has to speak of modernity, yet also appeal to the traveler’s desire for the exotic, and you’ll enjoy the marvelous attention to detail in your own lodgings.  Art seems to flow more easily here than in other countries, and this is certainly apparent in Mumbai’s galleries.

There’s a tremendous amount of visual art here, and it’s a great city to see new work in lots of different media.  For photography, the most visible gallery is the Piramal Gallery.  They’re connected to the National Center for the Performing Arts, and connected to the Center for Photography as an Art Form, which has received funding from the Ford Foundation for preserving India’s photographic heritage.  Here at Piramal you can see some of the historic work, along with fantastic exhibitions of new work by local and international photographers, and the gallery’s design is modular, allowing for easy reconfigurations to suit the exhibit.
