india gateway


The Gateway of India, an imposing arch monument, stands as a testament to both the British Raj and the Indian independence movement. Constructed in basalt, the Gateway was completed in 1924 to honor the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai. It later served as a symbolic exit for the British troops in 1948, marking the end of British rule. Today, it is a vibrant hub where locals and tourists alike gather, reflecting the rich history and diverse culture of Mumbai.
