Mumbaikars
tend to get busy in their demanding schedules of life, but when it comes
to religion, people appear to be highly devout. Religion plays an
important role in the lives of people in Mumbai. Like any other part of
India, Hinduism is the major religion observed by most of the residents
of Bombay. Apart from Hinduism, the other religions followed here are
Islam, Jainism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity. The laudable part is that however people follow different religions; they live happily and celebrate each and every religious festival with full enthusiasm. Mumbai has a considerable population of Parsis, who were the first ones to settle here after Koli fisher folks. Temples, churches as well as mosques, make the major places of worship in the city. In precise terms, Mumbai has people following different religions, yet they live in complete harmony with one another.
