Visiting India is like a homecoming for many people. For some, this is very literal, of course, and for others, it can feel like being in the place you’ve always dreamed about. There are many things here that are like a dream, and this is certainly the case in Mumbai. Bombay hotel accommodations are key to a pleasant visit, because this is the place you’ll be coming home to, and you should expect the finest in hospitality and comfort. Our hotels are carefully selected to give you the best of everything, so that the remarkable design and style can lighten the spirit and rejuvenate the senses. Resting comfortably in our spacious and lovely rooms, you’ll feel a sense of relief in body and mind, and this is a fantastic state of being in which to see the glorious city of Bombay.
It’s now called Mumbai, of course, but there are many who will refer to it by the older name, and it’s one of the most remarkable cities on earth. It has a long history of human occupation, and you can see the presence of remarkable human intelligence in the old temples and the art. This gives a rather heady sense to the architecture and art of today, when it’s seen as part of a longer line of artistic development, and getting to know the city through its art works is always a splendid idea. One of the local artists here who is absolutely worth getting to know is Vidya Kamat.
Her work is visually stunning and mystifying, and her images are often digital prints which are then re-worked and manipulated with more digital layers. The results are spectacular, and often beautiful, and always evocative. Her work is based in theories of self, constructions of identities, and history. She holds degrees in Fine Art as well as Comparative Mythology, so the magnificent artistry is coupled with complex intellectual ideas about the core of who we are. Centered in ideas of what constructs femininity and womanhood in contemporary society, particular Indian society, she uses her images to interrogate boundaries and to ask particularly relevant questions to a world in flux.
