Bombay city, some of it below sea-level and flanked to the east and west by ridges, consisted originally of seven islands, separated only during high tide, and all barely separated from the Konkan coast of Maharashtra; to the north of Bombay city is Salsette Island and Greater Bombay. The city has a deep natural harbour and its port handles over half of India's seagoing passenger traffic and a large proportion of her maritime cargo.
Bombay is the commercial and entertainment centre of India. Not only does it house important Indian financial institutions, such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), and the corporate headquarters of many Indian companies, but it is also the world's tenth ranked center of commerce when measured by global financial flow. The city is home to India's Hindi film and television industry, known as Bollywood. Bombay's business opportunities as well as its high standard of living attract migrants from all over India, and, in turn, make the city a potpourri of many communities and cultures. The city contains a national park, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, within its limits, a rarity among cities.
