Second Most Populous City of India?

Hi, I'm just curious about the following: since when did Mumbai become the second most populous? It's always been first, right? Avatarfanx2 (talk) 00:28, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Mumba Devi Temple Image

I'd like to propose removing the Mumba devi temple image. The dilapidated temple building really does not show anything about the city's name. It would be better to remove it. What do you guys think? Nikkul (talk) 16:43, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although dilapitated thats where Mumbai gets its name from. Maybe changing the image for a better shot, but I would vote to keep an image of "THE PLACE" the city gets its name from. Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 05:30, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Mumbai does not get it's name from this temple. It gets the name from the Mumba Goddess which is not shown anywhere in this image. Nikkul (talk) 09:23, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
