Abstract: *”Bombay to Mumbai: Changing Perspectives”* examines the transformation of Mumbai from its colonial roots as Bombay to its modern, globalized identity. The book explores the city’s evolving cultural and social landscape through three key sections: perceptions, landmarks and symbols, and urban development. It also highlights the role of artists in documenting the city’s shift. With biographical notes on painters and engravers, the work offers insights into Mumbai’s changing face. Concluding with a select bibliography and map, this study provides a valuable resource for understanding the historical and cultural metamorphosis of one of India’s most iconic cities.
