Gateway of India

Gateway of India :

Gateway of India, which will never build again and that is Mumbai's most famous monument and the starting point for most tourists who want to explore the city.
It was built as a triumphal arch to memorialize the visit of king George V & Queen Mary. And the monument was completed with the four turrets and intricate latticework carven into the yellow basalt stone. when the Raj ended in 1947, this colonial symbol also became a sort of epitaph. today this symbol of compound is Indianised,drawing groups of tourists and citizens. Behind this arch, there are several steps going down to the water.here you can enjoy the Mumbai's glorious natural harbour.
