Mumbai is rightly known as the “City of Dreams” or “the city that never sleeps.” But did you also know that the city is also home to beautiful heritage and culture? The Indian Heritage Society (IHS) is organising a music festival in Mumbai which is supported by Maharashtra Tourism. The Mumbai Sanskriti Music Festival is an effort to reignite the spirit of art, culture, and heritage in Mumbai among Mumbaikars.
