help with hindi word

freefred · Jan 28th, 2005, 23:33

Hi all
can you help me (again....

)
My daughter is doing a project on Mumbai (primary school) and we thought it would be nice to put 'Mumbai' also in Hindi characters on the cover.

Does anyone know how it is written?

मुम्बई

Both are right, the later is more of the 'keyboard' version.

Surely it should be written in Marathi, the language of Maharashtra.

May be she can collect a picture of (the godess)Mumbadevi too. The city's name originated from this
