Iconic buildings of Bombay stand tall after 26/11
- 5 years ago
Two isonic buildings of Mumbai - The Gateway of India and The Taj Mahal Palace. This is the same area where the horrifying terror attack of 2008 took place (known as 26/11). Many lost their lives while many others witnessed the attack or were injured.
The Gateway of India is a monument built during the British Raj in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India.Located on the waterfront in the Apollo Bunder area in South Mumbai, the monument overlooks the Arabian Sea. The gateway is a basalt arch, 26 metres (85 feet) high. It lies at the end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Marg at the water's edge in the harbor of Bombay.
The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower is a five-star hotel located in the Colaba region of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, next to the Gateway of India. Part of the Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces, this building is considered the flagship property of the group and contains 565 rooms. From a historical and architectural point of view, The Taj Mahal Palace and the Tower are two distinct buildings, built at different times and in different architectural designs.
