Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata , founder of the Tata Group , opened the Taj Mahal Palace , a hotel in Mumbai (formerly called Bombay) overlooking the
Arabian Sea , on 16 December 1903. It was the first Taj property and the first Taj hotel. There are several anecdotal stories about why Tata opened the Taj hotel.
