    The Gateway of India is one of the largest tourist attractions in India. Located in southern Mumbai, the monumental arch has been a focal point in the city since it was completed in 1924. Thousands of tourists flock to see the Gateway every day.. It's a really wonderful place to bring your family and friends on weekends. ??‍?‍??❤️ After all Mumbai is beautiful city.

    The Gateway of India is synonymous with Mumbai. It is the most famous monument of Mumbai and is the starting point for most tourists who want to explore the city. Gateway of India is a great historical monument built during the British rule in the country. It was built as a triumphal arch to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai (then, Bombay). Gateway of India was built at Apollo Bunder, a popular meeting place... If you want to know India better, you have to visit here...

    This is gate way India located in Mumbai. Very nice to place to visit once in life. The construction of gate way of India is completed in 1924. And inaugurated in December, 1924 . Made on the basis of indo-saracenic style. After its construction the gateway was used as a symbolic ceremonial entrance to British India for important colonial personnel. It has been called a symbol of "conquest and colonisation" commemorating British colonial legacy. The gateway is also the monument from where the last British troops left India in 1948, following Indian independence. It is located on the waterfront at an angle, opposite the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel and overlooks the Arabian Sea. Today, the monument is synonymous with the city of Mumbai, and is amongst its prime tourist attractions. The gateway is also a gathering spot for locals, street vendors, and photographers soliciting services. It holds significance for the local Jewish community as it has been the spot for Hanukkah celebrations, with the lighting of the menorah, since 2003. There are five jetties located at the gateway, of which two are used for commercial ferry operations. The gateway was the site of a terror attack in August 2003, when there was a bomb blast in a taxi parked in front of it. Access to the gateway was restricted after people congregated at its premises following the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, in which the Taj Hotel opposite the gateway and other locations in its vicinity were targeted. In March 2019, the Maharashtra state government proposed a four-step plan to develop the location for the convenience of tourists, following a direction issued by the state governor in February 2019. The gate way of India is most attractive point of international tourists. Jay Hind ?

    Have been eyeing this beauty for quite some time. So today I had an opportunity and did it miss my appointment with this beauty. A lot must have been written already for it and hence I need not say anything. A cosy little area to stand and take a selfie maybe. The structure is a reminiscence of the golden past when this area was wide and the buildings had residents. This might be a place for meeting .. dancing 💃 and having a conversation with familiar faces !! This is my take on the structure when I see its placement in the middle!!

    Such a beautiful place to visit. Reminds me of my college days. The weather was just apt. I was returning back after a seminar and the skyline interspersed with dark feathery clouds in the midst of a clear blue sky with this beautiful monument in front was just too much to miss. It made me stop back and click some pics of this great European style monument which adds so much beauty to the buildings around it. Worth a visit if you are passing by to admire it's beautiful architecture.

    A must visit place,if you come to explore South Bombay. The beauty of the monument will surely leave you in awe. The birds flying over it,makes it more beautiful. Most of all, it's very picturesque. A 15 min walk from CST station. Flora Fountain stands beautifully next to Hutatma Statue. Flora Fountain has a roman goddess Flora, which was erected by the then British government. Don't forget to look at the old tram tracks preserved by pavement blocks. The Hutatma statue next to it holds a beautiful lawn map of Maharashtra and a raging torch to salute Martyrs who fought for Mumbai's inclusion in Maharashtra. The book market near Flora fountain is a must visit for book lovers where we can get almost any book at a low price. I visited the Mumbai in the month of October and this place is one of the place I visited with when i was in Mumbai. I love to visit this place and the surrounding is very nice and it is very beautiful place. If you are going to visit mumbai then i will suggest to visit this place and list this place in your list of mumbai planning.

    It is a very nice place to hangout with friends and family on a Saturday night drive or in monsoon season. Navy day is also celebrated here and is absolutely spectacular. Naval performances consists of their helicopter show and much more. The public restroom over here is not that clean. It stinks. Still it’s a pretty lovely place.

    The Gateway of India is one of India's most unique landmarks situated in the city of Mumbai. The colossal structure was constructed in 1924. Located at the tip of Apollo Bunder, the gateway overlooks the Mumbai harbor, bordered by the Arabian Sea in the Colaba district.

A favourite spot for tourists, nowadays, this monument attracts vendors, food stalls and photographers. History The main objective behind the construction of the Gateway of India was to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Bombay (Mumbai). In March 1911, Sir George Sydenham Clarke, who was then the Governor of Bombay, laid down the monument's first foundation. Although, this plan was approved only in 1914, the reclamations at Apollo Bunder were completed only in 1919. The architectural design of Gateway of India was fashioned by architect, George Wittet. It took 4 years to complete this monument's construction.

    This is old british era fountain named as Flora Fountain.There were some water leakages in the old structure. The colour of the old structure was in bad coundition due to weathering action. In the last year old fountain structure improved by MCGM The surrounding area is also improved. The passage between Hutatma smarak and Fountain area is improved by stone flooring. Old Tram rails also found in the digging and now laid as of old era.

    I have visited yesterday. Flora Fountain, also known as Hutatma Chowk, is an iconic heritage structure located in the Fort area of Mumbai, India. It's a historic monument and a popular tourist attraction. Visitors often admire its architectural beauty and historical significance. It's a symbol of Mumbai's rich colonial history. People also appreciate the surrounding area, which is a bustling part of the city with various shops, markets, and cultural attractions. I saw the double decker AC bus. Lovely place to visit and highly recommended. Thanks

    ☬༺RÃJ༻☬The Gateway of India is an arch monument built during the 20th century in Bombay, India. The monument was erected to commemorate the landing of King George V and Queen Mary at Apollo Bunder on their visit to India in 1911. Built in Indo-Saracenic style, the foundation stone for the Gateway of India was laid on 31 March 1911. The structure is an arch made of basalt, 26 metres (85 feet) high.

    The Gateway of India was designed by Scottish architect, George Wittet and the construction work was carried out by Gammon India Limited, the only construction company in India boasting an ISO 9001: 1994 accredited certification in all fields of civil engineering at that time. The structure was built with yellow basalt stones enmeshed with reinforced concrete at the foundations. The stone was sourced locally. The perforated screens were brought from Gwalior. The structure cuts an angle to the road leading to it and stands facing out to the Mumbai Harbor from the tip of Apollo Bunder. The structure is basically a Triumphal Arch, built predominantly in an Indo-Saracenic architectural style with some Muslim elements incorporated. This style of architecture was introduced by the British during their rule in India and it combines diverse elements of the Hindu and Muslim architecture with Gothic cusped arches, domes, spires, tracery, minarets and stained glass, in a uniquely playful style. The rectangular structure consists of three sections. The central arches of the structure are 85 feet high. The central block houses a dome which is 48 feet in diameter and 83 feet in height. On each side of the arch, there are large halls with arches that are covered with intricately carved stone screens and can hold 600 people each. The central dome is joined by 4 turrets and is decorated with intricate latticework, the most prominent features of the entire structure of the Gateway of India. Steps from behind the arch of the Gateway lead directly into the Arabian Sea. The arch frames an impressive view of an expanse of Arabian Sea dotted with fishing boats as well as luxury yachts. The structure is illuminated after nightfall presenting a breathtaking view in combination with the adjacent Taj Mahal Palace hotel and tower.

    Flora fountain, erected by the British, is a ten minute walk from the Churchgate station. The fountain is maintained by the authority regularly and the sound of the water makes one feel refreshed. A small public square for pedestrians only that allows one to observe the precincts and while offering the seating spaces. Visit during both day and night time for different experiences.

    Such a beautiful creation, left in utter neglect, shame on the BMC for its incompetence. Anywhere in Europe such cultural and historical pieces are maintained with care and passion. Only in Mumbai you see a complete disregard to such things. Real shame. The best part is despite all the attempts by the BMC to limit its significance, the flora fountain looks beautiful even today, even in its weathered and unkempt state it finds solace in the midst of the mumbai crowd.

  • 5/5 Salim K. 2 years ago on Google
    Still one of the best place in city in terms of cleanliness although the metro work has cause a lot of issues, still better than others. Had went to buy books from the pavement sellers/bazaar. The cheapest place to find the best of books, for people who want to read but can't put a lot of money. Best place for them.

    It's a great tourist attraction. You'll see many tourists taking pictures of this fountain. However, on my last visit I didn't see the water running in the fountain. There are loads of book stalls near this place. If you're a book lover then this is the best place to purchase your fav books for cheap.

    Its the memorial of the Martyrs of the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti. This place is a proof that even if we're of different ethnicities We Mumbaikars are together forever just like the islands that were reclaimed to Make it Mumbai from Bombay.

  • 4/5 Enal J. 1 year ago on Google
    Exact portrayal of Mumbai from the film. Loved how serene and lovely this place is. Across from the Bombay High Court. Shopaholics, head across the street to the biggest and most gorgeous Zara in Mumbai. A quick stop here for five minutes is worthwhile while visiting the neighbourhood.

  • 5/5 uday k. 1 year ago on Google
    It's an historical place, constructed during British Era. You don't have to buy ticket to visit this place. I visited the famous fort book stalls which is near to this place where all genres of books are sold on the the pavement. Most important I found and bought few indrajal comics Phantom, mandrake and also few Amar Chitra Katha comics. These books are now nowhere to be seen. Also if you are visiting this place don't miss visiting CST Station, Crawford market, Camera gully, Gateway of India, The Taj Mahal Hotel, Colaba market etc which is within 1 or 2 km in the vicinity.

    Best Location, Feeling like other countries and posh areas in Mumbai. And near to this many best architectural buildings were built, and must the book shop just opposite it's very cheap and famous author books also get it over, please don't forget to miss that shop

    We go there every year for purchase of books for our small library, we are never disappointed at all. Mr. Rajendra and Mr. Suresh have been helpful for us they search for books from others and keep it safe for us. If we inform them earlier it helps both parties the buyer and seller.

  • 4/5 Ram C. 8 months ago on Google
    This heritage monument, built in 1864, which includes a 6 to 7 foot statue of the Roman Goddess Flora, located at the Hutatma Chowk, and very much crowded. Surrounded by the railings, would suggest to have a good look at this ornate fountain.

    Flora Fountain, also known as the Hutatma Chowk since 1960, is an exquisitely sculpted structure located in the heart of South Mumbai. Flora Fountain was initially named after the Governor of Bombay, Sir Bartle Frere, but just before the fountain’s inauguration in 1864, the name ‘Flora’ was bestowed on it, after the Roman Goddess of flowers and the season of spring. In 1960, the fountain became known as Martyr’s Square, or Hutatma Chowk, with an impressive stone statue bearing a pair of torch holding patriots, to honor the 105 members of the Samyuktha Maharashtra Samiti who lost their lives while fighting for a separate Maharashtrian state. The Flora Fountain was constructed by the Agri–Horticultural Society of Western India in 1864, out of a donation by Cursetjee Fardoonjee Parekh. Designed by Richard Norman Shaw, it was sculpted from imported Portland stone by James Forsythe. A magnificent statue of the Roman Goddess is installed at the top of the structure, making the fountain edifice look even more beautiful. However, according to some, its white coat of oil paint has to some extent marred the antiquity of the fountain.
