A sumptuously produced walking tour through historic Mumbai in images and words, featuring the remarkable talents of artist Matt Rota.

As Khilen Shah states in his foreword to this remarkable book, modern architecture misses the soulfulness and artistry of the buildings and structures of earlier days, which is why it is all the more important to preserve what we have - in reality and in art. This book is an attempt to preserve in memory some impressions of Mumbai's architectural beauty. It also seeks to correct the image of Mumbai in the minds of both outsiders and those who have lived there, encouraging them to think beyond the city's slums.

The book is intended to showcase Mumbai as a city worth seeing and savoring. Artist Matt Rota brings a unique creative style to this endeavor, which perfectly blends the human and cultural element of the city with its architectural beauty. The result is a sumptuous production that would suit a library shelf or a coffee table, whether in India or abroad.
