 This
26 metres high stone archway is the first landmark of Bombay a visitor
sees when arriving by ship. Designed by Writtet in the 16th century
Gujarat style, it was built to commen / morate the visit of King
George V and Queen Mary to Indfia in 1911. This crypto-Moresque
archway welcomed numerous viceroys, governors and top civil servants
as they disembarked by launch from their p&O steamers. An equestrain
staue of Chhatrapati Shivaji and statue of Swami Vivekananda have been
installed here
