The City is a hot tourist spot.
The city’s long association with the British is reflected in the old
world charm of its buildings made in the Indo-Saracenic style. Some
of the well-known landmarks are the Gateway of India at
Apollo Bunder overlooking the harbour. The Gateway of India was
built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to
India in 1911, in the 16th century architectural style of
Gujarat. The Flora Fountain at the Hutatma Chowk was built in
1869 in honour of Sir Bartle Frere, Governor of Bombay, and the man
responsible for much of Bombay. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style,
the Prince Of Wales Museum stands amidst a well-laid
ornamental garden. The National Gallery of Modern Art in
Mumbai exhibits the works of Indian masters as well as modern Indian
art. |

Elephanta Island is an hour
away from Mumbai Harbour. Motorboats ferry tourists across to the
island from the jetty at the Gateway of India. The boat ride,
itself, is interesting as you go past fishing boats, anchored ships,
yachts and little islands. The Chowpatty Beach overlooks a
bay, and turns into a magical brightly lit funfair at night with
vendors, pony rides, fortune tellers, performing monkeys, fishermen
and families out for a stroll. The sunset and the streetlights
appear truly bewitching from the nearby elite residential area of
the Malabar Hill. Juhu and Versova beaches are some
distance away and are crowded with the city’s residents spending a
while amongst vendors hawking everything from camel and horse rides
to Mumbai’s famous ‘bhelpuri’ and ‘pao bhaji’. |
