The Gateway of India, located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, is one of India’s most iconic landmarks. 

Built during the British rule, this grand structure was completed in 1924 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911. It stands as an archway made in the Indo-Saracenic style, with influences from both Indian and Islamic architecture, featuring intricate carvings and a large central dome.

Facing the Arabian Sea, it became a symbolic departure point for British troops after India gained independence in 1947. Today, it’s a major tourist attraction and a vibrant gathering spot for locals and tourists alike, with views of the sea and the famous Taj Mahal Palace Hotel nearby.
