The Gateway of India is an arch monument built during the 20th century in Mumbai, India.[2] 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 final design of George Wittet was sanctioned in 1914 and the construction of the monument was completed in 1924. The Gateway was later used as a symbolic ceremonial entrance to India for Viceroys and the new Governors of Bombay.[3] It served to allow entry and access to India.[4]

The Gateway of India is located on the waterfront at Apollo Bunder area at the end of Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj Marg in South Mumbai and overlooks the Arabian Sea.[5][6][7] The monument has also been referred to as the Taj Mahal of Mumbai,[8] and is the city's top tourist attraction.[9]

As Gateway of India is the main tourist spot, this place is overlooked. This garden which is located exactly opposite to Gateway of India gives a soothing shade to the onlookers. This statue speaks of the valour of Maharashtra’s Swaraj founder Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. You can enjoy a quite time looking at Gateway of India by sitting here. N no of food stalls are nearby.

One of the best place to visit in Mumbai. Go by public transport as it's hard to get parking🅿 at the place. Near by #Gateway of India and #Hotel Taj is there ti see.

‘Statue of Shivaji Maharaj’ is located just opposite the world famous Gateway of India in Mumbai. This monument stands in tribute to the great Maratha emperor and warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who laid the foundation of the Maratha Empire that rule much of modern day India until it’s final conquest by the British.
The monument is an equestrian statue and depicts Shivaji Maharaj as a warrior armed with a round shield and sword. The monument stands in its own and is well maintained in small garden faces the Arabian Sea and its iconic neighbor the Gateway to India.
This area is generally crowded and you will find people busy clicking photos and selfis all-around.
