Mumbai, India (Part 5)

Haji Ali Mosque dated back to 15th century can be approached by a long cause way which can be submerged under water during high tide, is a tomb of a rich merchant, Haji Ali Shah Bukhari. He gave up his wealth after a pilgrimage to Mecca. The white mosque was built in the 1940s and seems to float on its small island in the Arabia sea.

The causeway lined with beggars, which leads to a huge marble courtyard.
