The Gateway of India, located on the waterfront in Apollo Bunder area in South Mumbai, is a basalt arch 26 metres (85 ft) high. It was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Bombay, prior to the Delhi Durbar, in December 1911.
The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower is a prestigious luxury five star hotel located next to the Gateway of India. Part of the Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces, this iconic 107-year old heritage building retains its stature as the flagship property of the group.
Did you know the hotel was oriented wrongly and the mistake was realised after the entire construction was over!?!?
The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower was one of the 4 hotels targeted by terrorists during the 2008 Mumbai attacks which led to the loss of 173 people and wounding at least 308.

Old Mumbai v/s New Mumbai
Point a camera in any direction in Mumbai and there is something thought-provoking to see. An amazing city which is the home to 14 million people
Shot Taken near ITC Grand Central Hotel, Parel.
Monsoon in Mumbai is an odd mix - miserable if you are a commuter, yet awe-inspiring if you are an observer of nature. Mumbai essentially has two seasons, "sweat" and "swim" - and the world has seen many images of this swimming season during the flash floods of 26th July 2005.
Yet, if one will take a moment to look upwards, especially around dawn, the sight is one to behold!
This photo is one of a series taken just before dawn, at the "magic moment" when the reflected light from the sun hits the clouds before the sun itself rises over the horizon. No spectacular tourist spot this - these photos were shot from the window of a fourth-floor apartment in Bandra's narrow and winding Chapel Road.

Dharavi, Mumbai
Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, lies on prime property right in the middle of India's financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay).
It is home to more than a million people. Many are second-generation residents, whose parents moved in years ago.
Today's Dharavi bears no resemblance to the fishing village it once was. A city within a city, it is one unending stretch of narrow dirty lanes, open sewers and cramped huts.
In a city where house rents are among the highest in the world, Dharavi provides a cheap and affordable option to those who move to Mumbai to earn their living.
Rents here can be as low as 185 rupees ($4/£2.20) per month. As Dharavi is located between Mumbai's two main suburban rail lines, most people find it convenient for work.
Even in the smallest of rooms, there is usually a cooking gas stove and continuous electricity.
Many residents have a small colour television with a cable connection that ensures they can catch up with their favourite soaps. Some of them even have a video player.
Dharavi also has a large number of thriving small-scale industries that produce embroidered garments, export quality leather goods, pottery and plastic.
Most of these products are made in tiny manufacturing units spread across the slum and are sold in domestic as well as international markets.
The annual turnover of business here is estimated to be more than $650m (£350m) a year.
The state government has plans to redevelop Dharavi and transform it into a modern township, complete with proper housing and shopping complexes, hospitals and schools.

MUMBAI: The MV Wisdom, which drifted within disaster distance of the Bandra-Worli sea link on Saturday, is grounded in Juhu. The ship broke free of its tug around 1 pm and was spotted 250 m from Juhu beach around 8 pm. While the 175-m hulk has become a tourist sensation, it has set off pollution concerns among locals, including fishing communities.
