- Mapa je napravljena sredinom sedamdesetih godina prošlog veka, kada je turistička industrija Bombaja i zapadne Indije doživela renesansu. Period nezavisnosti Indije od 1947. do sredine 1960-ih bio je težak za turističku industriju, zbog ekonomske i političke krize. Opsežna adaptacija hotela `Taj Mahal Palace` (1903), počevši od 1966. godine, pozdravila je oživljavanje lokalne turističke privrede i turističke industrije. Tadž je prikazan na obojenoj turističkoj mapi, što je izuzetno interesantno, jer uključuje prikaz Tadž Towera, novog dela hotela, koji je završen 1973. godine, to nam otkriva kad je mapa nastala.
- Ova mapa je raritet, kao jedna od retkih koja je preživela do današnjih dana.

- Technique: Off-set printing, double sided (one side in colour), folding with original pictorial paper cover, 75 x 50 cm
- The present map packet was made in the mid-1970s, when Bombay and Western India’s tourist industry was experiencing a renaissance, led by Indian commercial concerns. The period from Indian Independence in 1947 until the mid-1960s had been difficult for the tourist industry, due to economic and political drama. The extensive refurbishment of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel (1903), beginning in 1966, hailed the resurgence of the local business and pleasure tourist industry. The Taj is pictured on the coloured tourist map, and, curiously, this gives a clue as to the dating of the map, as it includes a depiction of the Taj Tower, a new addition to hotel, completed in 1973.
- The present sheet of maps is a rare survivor, as vey few such ephemeral pieces from India remain to this day.
