Mumbai is de hoofdstad van de staat Maharashtra en de dichtstbevolkte stad van India, met ruim 21 miljoen inwoners. De metropool is een van 's werelds grootste en dichtstbevolkte stedelijke gebieden en is een toonaangevend financieel centrum van India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aan de waterkant van de haven van Mumbai staat de iconische stenen boog Gateway of India, gebouwd door de Britse Raj in 1924. Voor de kust, in het nabijgelegen Elephanta Island, bevinden zich oude grottempels gewijd aan de hindoegod Shiva. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aanvankelijk bestond Mumbai uit zeven verschillende eilanden. Tussen 1784 en 1845 brachten Britse ingenieurs echter alle zeven eilanden samen en verenigden ze tot \u00e9\u00e9n grote landmassa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
De stad staat bekend als het hart van de Bollywood-filmindustrie. Het is een mix van iconische architectuur met ouderwetse charme en opvallend moderne hoogbouw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hindoes omvatten 80% van de burgers, waarbij 11,5% zich identificeert als moslim en slechts 1% als christen. Veel mensen komen naar Mumbai op zoek naar kansen, en bijna elke niet-betrokken bevolkingsgroep in het land is hier te vinden.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3499","hindu-guide-2024","type-hindu-guide-2024","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"","ams_acf":[{"key":"hindu_prayer_guide_2024_city","label":"Hindu Prayer Guide 2024 City","value":"Mumbai"},{"key":"hindu_prayer_guide_2024_featured_image","label":"Hindu Prayer Guide 2024 Featured Image","value":{"ID":3500,"id":3500,"title":"Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01","filename":"Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01.jpg","filesize":134121,"url":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01.jpg","link":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/nl\/blog\/hindu-guide-2024\/november-1\/hindu-prayer-guide-nov-01\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"hindu-prayer-guide-nov-01","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":3499,"date":"2024-05-01 14:12:07","modified":"2024-05-01 14:12:07","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":838,"height":906,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01-350x378.jpg","medium-width":350,"medium-height":378,"medium_large":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01-768x830.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":830,"large":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01.jpg","large-width":838,"large-height":906,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01.jpg","1536x1536-width":838,"1536x1536-height":906,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01.jpg","2048x2048-width":838,"2048x2048-height":906,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/110cities.gopray.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Hindu-Prayer-Guide-Nov-01-11x12.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":11,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12}}},{"key":"hindu_prayer_guide_2024_people_group_focus","label":"Hindu Prayer Guide 2024 People Group Focus","value":"
