Mumbai - Gateway of India

The Gateway of India is a monument located on the waterfront in Mumbai. Built from yellow basalt and reinforced concrete, the Gateway is designed in Indo-Saracenic architectural style.

The Gateway of India was opened in 1924 and the last British troops to leave India passed through the gate in a ceremony in 1948, making the gateway redundant.

The Gateway is now a favorite hangout for locals and traditionally the first thing visitors see upon arrival in Mumbai.
