Culture and Attractions Mumbai is not necessarily famous. Nonetheless, we can do something cultural. Mumbai's landmark is the Gateway of India in 1924 in the town center, a sort of triumphal arch. Sightseeing offer a number of buildings from the British colonial era. To a cultural trip includes the visit to the Mahalaxmi temple, which the goddess of fortune and wealth is blessed. Also worth seeing: The "Mani Bhawan was" Gandhi's former residence and is now a small museum.
