The cables
Like sails.

A 5.6 km, eight-lane cable-stayed bridge that crosses Mahim Bay over the sea to link the suburb of Bandra with Worli in South Mumbai, one of the symbols of the modern city and among its best-known sights. Its tall concrete towers fan out cables like sails; it cut a journey that took an hour in traffic to a few minutes, it is for vehicles only, and crossing it by car or taxi is a ride worth taking. The best place to see it from afar is the Bandstand promenade and the old Bandra Fort at its northern end, where rocks look out over both the sea and the bridge, or the Worli seafront on the other side. Viewing it is free, while cars pay a small toll. Come at sunset and stay into the evening when its cables light up; walking or stopping on the bridge is not allowed.
