Gateway of India

Mumbai's most striking monument, this too was designed by George Wittet. It has an imposing gateway arch in the Indo-Saracenic style with Gujarati and Islamic elements such as wooden carvings. It was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911. This area is also the departing point for ferries plying to Elephanta Island and other beaches across the port. Behind it is the beautiful old (and new) structure of the Taj Mahal Hotel. The sightseeing tour of Mumbai starts from this triumphal arch. The gateway of India stands as an epitome of colonialism and just to catch a sight of this establishment, thousands of tourists arrive in the city of Mumbai every year. The travelers can opt for a short cruise journey which offers amazing vistas of the marvelous Mumbai.
