Description
Your exploration of the city begins with a drive past the University of Mumbai, the Mumbai High Court, continue past the Flora Fountain, also known as 'Hutatma Chowk' since 1960, is declared as one of India's Heritage structures. Built in 1864, its name ‘'Flora' was derived from the name of the Roman Goddess of Flowers. Your tour takes you past the Victoria Terminus which was built during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year. It is an extraordinary conglomeration of domes, spires, Corinthian columns and minarets in a style described by journalist James Cameron as “Victorian-Gothic-Saracenic-Italianate-Oriental-St. Pancras-Baroque.” In 1853 the first train in India left from this station and today more than half a million people use this station every day. Drive down Marine Drive, Mumbai’s seaside promenade, an eight-lane highway with a wide pavement after your visit you will drive through the residential area of Mumbai’s rich and famous on Malabar Hill. Also on the hill is the Jain Temple, built of marble and dedicated to Adinath, the first of the twenty-four thirthankars or Jain prophets. The approach to the central chamber is covered with mirrors and colorful paintings. A polished marble image of Adinath is enshrined in within. Continue to the Hanging Gardens, laid out in 1881. Here an assortment of hedges, have been trimmed into animal shapes. Mumbai is a cosmopolitan city and is home to people belonging to different religious backgrounds like Hinduism, Islam and even Zoroastrianism! Due to this diverse nature, Mumbai showcases the best monuments, churches, and shrines. One such unique structure built for a unique purpose is indeed the Towers of Silence which is built for the exposure of the dead. As you drive past this structure you will realise that despite the open exposure to dead, the place has a feeling of calm and peace, owning in part to the beautiful architecture. Enjoy a photo stop at to the dhobi ghats! Even if you are not interested in other people’s dirty laundry, you’ll be fascinated by this sight. The dhobi is a traditional laundryman who collects your dirty linen which is then soaped, soaked, boiled, beaten, and thrashed. The next day, after being dried it is, pressed, folded and neatly wrapped into bundles and returned from whence they came. Thereafter you will visit Mani Bhavan which was Gandhi’s Bombay base between 1917 and 1934. It is now a permanent museum and memorial to the Mahatma, and contains a research library of more than 20,000 volumes. A series of tiny dioramas tell his life story in an interesting fashion. The walls are covered with photos of historic events and noteworthy people and there are a number of personal artifacts.
