A visit to the Gateway of India

It is a memorial arch built in the Indo-Saracenic style (an amalgamation of British, Hindu and Islamic styles) to commemorate the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary as it was the first visit of a British monarch to India.

The monument is of RCC and yellow basalt. The jaali work (latticework) is intricate and decorative.

Fun fact: The King and the Queen were only able to see the cardboard model of this structure as the work was not yet completed :)
