Where lies the soul of Mumbai ?
The Business Guardian
|October 28, 2025
Every city has a soul, its centre of gravity, the place where its essential identity exists.
The location which defines a city, where its Gods reside, which brings out the best in the place. What is it that defines Mumbai ? Has its definition changed with the moving years and change in its name? Has narrowness taken control of her? Or still the old adage of 'live and let live' prevails? Is it in 'Mumba Devi' in Jhaveri Bazaar from where the city got its new name -Mumbai? Where it is believed that one must visit on arrival and seek blessings . Many people believe that she is the Presiding deity of the city and there is always a rush there of blessing seekers . Is it in 'Mahalakshmi Tempe' by the sea making it the city of wealth and wealth seekers? Mumbai is the biggest city in India, its economy controls a substantial economy of the Nation . All major political parties desire to rule this island , This island of eternal dream , this island of opportunities, this island of glitter and ugliness, this island of hope and helplessness, this island gone rogue . Let us search for its 'heart and soul' and explore.
