If you had to name one Indian city which truly reflects the spirit of diversity, then it has to be Mumbai. Its ethnically-diverse community has uplifted the art and cultural scene over decades. Today, Mumbai boasts several galleries and museums that have become major tourist attractions.
If you are travelling in a group, you can book a bus on rent Mumbai for sightseeing to these places. Here is a curated list for you:
Dr Bhau Dahi Lad Musueum
