City Information
The Gateway of India was built in 1919 and opened to public in 1924. The ceremonial arch
was built in 1927 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary for the Delhi
Durbar in 1911. Historically, the gateway holds greater significance as the last of the
British troops left Independent India by sea, marched through its portals. It is situated
on the Apollo Bunder.
Nine kilometers by sea from Gateway of India, a ferry ride across the harbor takes one to
the Elephanta Island. A Shiva temple on the island is a fine example of excellence in
artisanship in rock-cut structures.
Built in 1914, the Prince of Wales Museum is surrounded by a beautiful landscape forming
an ideal getaway from the bustle and hurry of the city. One of the best museums in the
country, it is a treasure house of art, sculpture, china, rare coins, and old firearms. It
also had priceless collection of miniature paintings.
