The 143 years old Raja bai Towering over the southern end of the city, it was financed by a Mumbai-based cotton businessman, Premchand Roychand. He wanted to build a clock as a tribute to his mother (thus, named Rajabai after her,) and to remind her to take her meals on time.

Really very very beautiful place . It's is a very place to during evening . I like this very much . I think you also visit this place in a month or in a week . It's is very best place . I will go there once in a week . Many people will come there to experience the real beauty .

Rajabai Tower construction was funded by Premchand Roychand. His mother was blind and was supposed to consume her dinner before evening as she followed jain religion. The evening bell of the tower helped her to know the time without anyone's help. Thus it was named after his Mother Rajabai.

It was opened in 1878, and is located within the Bombay University campus in the Fort area. It's height is equivalent to that of a twenty-five storey building and was the tallest structure in Bombay for a long while. It is no longer accessible to the public.

Magnificent!

Rajabai Clock Tower is a spectacular Venetian-Gothic structure built by Sir George Gilbert Scott, an English architect. The Tower Clock chimes every fifteen minutes during the day.

With this review, I have praise but also a gripe, which is why one star has been docked. First and foremost, this is a remarkable clock tower which is one of the most memorable of Mumbai's many colonial-era edifices. The carving on its exterior is extra ordinary and the whole thing is an elaborate Victorian Gothic fantasy. You can get a good look at it from outside the gate or anywhere around the Maidan and it's an impressive sight. Now to the gripe. You are no longer allowed to climb it or even take pictures from around the base. The security officers strictly enforce this rule. In recent years India has been worried about stagnant tourist numbers and this sort of thing is part of the reason. As part of a World Heritage site, Rajabai should be open to world travellers.

The tower looks like it is vibrating, but that’s only because it’s undergoing repair work. It’s not actually vibrating guys lol.

The Rajabai Clock Tower is another legacy of the British Empire in India. It's a Victorian era clock tower built in the store of Gothic revival, most evidently at the apex which is the epitome of a Gothic tower. This tower is close to several landmarks of Mumbai and it's worth a detour if in the area. There’s supposed to be a chime every 15 minutes, but there’s seems to be renovation working ongoing as there’s lots of scaffolding around the tower and I couldn’t get into the gated area of the clock tower. Magnificent tower, but shame I couldn't get closer. From the outside, the terraces and matching towers with the open staircases look beautiful.

Colonial clock tower. Has the old world charm. Is visible while driving on Eastern Freeway

Modelled after Big Ben in London and designed with a fusion of Venetian and Gothic styles, the Rajabai Clock Tower was once the tallest structure in Mumbai.

Rajabai Tower is next to the Mumbai High Court and University of Mumbai. According to me it is situated in the most scenic part of Mumbai. A mix of old Bombay with the new. This area of Bombay houses UNESCO World Heritage Art Deco buildings and the lovely maintained Oval Maidan a green area in the otherwise commercial city.

Nice location

It would have been more interesting if the clock tower hadn't been obscured by scaffolding. However, such items are occasionally required for repairs or cleaning.

It's well worth a look.

Closed for visiting for foreigners??? Security guards let in a few Indian ladies but for us denied permission to enter. Such a iconic place and only for selected visitors? I felt discriminated by denied entry rights. Also securities did not explain anything, it's just look like they want to do no work, just sit and browse phones.

Made by Britishers. Art and old items

Best British architecture must see.

Ana amazing sight similar to the Big Ben in London. One of the most wonderful building in Mumbai. A delight to watch such an architecture in India. Although we we're not allowed to visit inside but still it was a pleasure to witness. Liked it

Excellent place

Is that Big Ben? I wondered as I walked beneath the clock. Surely it must be similar... what a great sight ! Overlooks the cricket grounds where many Indian nationals love to play. A must see.

Loved it

Because I was involved in Heritage Conservation of this structure & received UNESCO Asia Pacific Award for the same in the year 2018

A gothic library, with authentic beechwood furniture. Charging facility near window seats.sandstone architecture conpletely insulates the insides from any amount of simmering heat. Hence non a/c and rightly so. Visitors charged fee of 20rs/day and monthly pass of 250rs, which makes much more sense. Ecelectics and academics go for it.

Beautiful example of very South Bombay, it quickly becomes one of your landmarks.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful building in English style, and like Big Ben, was under renovation in February / 2020. (Original) Bonita edificação em estilo inglês, e assim como o Big Ben, estava em reforma em fevereiro/2020.

I would say it is the hidden gem of Mumbai. It was inspired based on the Big Ben in London. The architecture is amazing and the bell ringing every few minutes is soothing to the ears. Must Visit!!!

If the clock tower hadn't been obscured by scaffolding, it would have been more intriguing. However, such things are sometimes required for repairs or cleaning. Because it was built by the British, our guide stated this tower reminded him of Big Ben. The architecture is really unique, mixing Gothic and French styles. At 250 feet tall, the tower is impressive. It's well worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) A very nice clock tower. (Original) Çok güzel bir saat kulesi.

Just view the scenery most of foreigners visit here for any documentary or photography.
