Gateway of India
A fine example of the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture, the Gateway of India is the second landmark of Mumbai, after the ‘Film City’. The construction of the Gateway of India began on March 31, 1913. In August 1914, George Wittet’s design got approval for construction. From the years 1915 to 1919, the renewal work at Apollo Pier took place and a new sea wall was built. The foundation work of the colossal structure was completed in 1920.
The Gateway of India, Mumbai, is built from yellow Kharodi basalt and strengthened concrete. The central dome of the monument features a diameter of 48 feet and is 83 feet above ground at its highest point. It features intricate latticework. The stairs behind the arch of the Gateway lead to the sea. The construction was completed in 1924. The Viceroy of India inaugurated the Gateway on December 4, 1924.
