Best Landmarks in Mumbai "Best Landmarks in Mumbai" Gecreëerd door : Cityseeker 8 Locaties in uw favorieten Bandra-Worli Sea Link "Urban Connection" The Bandra-Worli Sea Link, also knows as the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, is the cynosure of all eyes not only in Mumbai city but also, in the whole country. Taking the metropolitan city to another level of improved infrastructure, this sea link is a boon to the busy Mumbai traffic. This bridge is the outcome of long-term planning and meticulous engineering. It is by jubindave majestically spread across the Mahim Bay, very conveniently connecting the western suburbs of Bandra, to Worli in South-Mumbai and reducing the travel time between the two areas, in half. If not for commutation, it sure is worth a visit to just marvel at this spectacular bridge for its sheer beauty. +91 22 2655 8175 bandraworlisealink.com/ [email protected] Bandra-Worli Sea Link, Mumbai Girgaum Chowpatty "The Common Man's Beach" A city built on islands, Mumbai has no shortage of beaches. The most popular among them is Girgaum Chowpatty, a stretch of beach that extends along Marine Drive near Charni Road Railway Station. The only sand beach area in South Mumbai offers a unique culinary experience for both the tourists as well as the locals. A stretch of the Chowpatty beach is populated by a long line of fast food stalls serving excellent Pav Bhaji (spicy mashed potatoes and bread), Vada Pav (potato cutlets in bread) and kulfi (regional ice-cream). Girgaum Chowpatty however truly comes to life at sunset, with its masseurs, transvestites, balloon-sellers, gamblers, fortune-tellers, magicians, ferris wheels and shooting galleries. +91 22 2202 4482 (Tourist Information) Off Netaji Shubhash Chandra Bose Road, Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus "Victorian Elegance & Grandeur" One of the most exquisite colonial remains in the country is the Victoria Terminus in Bombay, rechristened as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in the year 1996. This brilliant exponent of grand Gothic architecture dates back to the year 1887, when it was constructed in honor of Queen Victoria on her golden jubilee year. C.S.T as is popularly called, is one of the busiest railway stations in India and serves as the headquarters of Central Railways. It is also the terminating stop on the Mumbai suburban railway line. But, C.S.T undoubtedly goes beyond its qualification as a major railway station. It is a historic landmark in itself that exudes a charm, reminiscent of the Victorian era. In the year 2004, C.S.T was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. +91 22 2414 3200 (Tourist Information) Dr Dadabhai Naoroji Road, Mumbai Marine Drive "Mumbai's Gleaming Skyline" Also famously known as the Queen's Necklace (a romanticized perception of the streetlights), Marine Drive was built in 1920 on reclaimed land from the back bay.

It is an impressive neo-classical structure that overlooks the Horniman Circle and was built in the 1830s. This place is one of the last remnants of the Victorian Bombay. Today it is a public library that houses some priceless and rare ancient books and manuscripts along with bronze and marble sculptures. It is open to membership; the place also organizes informative Mumbai tours. +91 22 2266 0956 asiaticsociety.org.in/ [email protected] Horniman Circle, Off Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Mumbai Flora Fountain "All Roads Lead To Flora" Flora Fountain stands in the midst of one of the busiest areas of Mumbai.

Before the unveiling, it was by The original uploader was rechristened Flora after the Roman Goddess of Abundance.

Incidentally, this is the same spot where the gate to the St. Thomas Cathedral stood, hence lending the name Churchgate to the area. +91 22 2202 6713 (Tourist Information) Veer Nariman Road, Hutatma Chowk, Mumbai Rajabai Clock Tower "Time Memorial" Standing tall opposite the Oval Maidan in the midst of the gardens of Mumbai University, the Rajabai Clock Tower is one of Mumbai's outstanding landmarks. Believed to have been inspired by Giotto's Campanile in Florence and the Big Ben in London, the five storied 280 feet tall tower was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and completed in by Anurupa Chowdhury 1878. Look closely, and you'll spy eight statues which represent the Indian castes. The tower was named after 'Rajabai', the mother of Premchand Roychand, a broker who funded the construction.

The clock tower is also reported to have played 16 tunes including Rule Britannia. +91 22 2414 3200 (Tourist www.maharashtratourism. webmaster@maharashtrat M.G Road, University of Information) gov.in/ ourism.gov.in Mumbai Fort Campus, Mumbai Gateway of India "Mumbai's Venerated Landmark" Mumbai's most popular landmark, this yellow basalt arch was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911. Designed by George Wittet, this imposing structure overlooking the Arabian Sea was opened to the public in 1924 and since then it's been on every tourist itinerary besides being a favorite meeting point for the locals. by Vijay Sharma Many launches depart from here for short joyrides around the harbour, or for longer ones to the Elephanta Caves. Touts, balloon sellers, photographers and peanut vendors rove across the place, amid tourists who gape in pure delight and awe at its sheer scale and architecture. Awash in elegant semblances of Indo-Saracenic and Islamic architectural styles, the Gateway is also within close proximity to the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, which is another one of the city's most prized possessions. Accentuated by the rippling waters of the sea, this monumental, triumphal arch stands under a gleaming dome and is adorned with fine detailing including latticework and an inscription which describes why the arch was constructed. What was once a modest piece of land utilized by the city's fisherfolk, was later frequented by British nobles along with other luminaries, and today stands as a gargantuan, emblematic jewel of Mumbai. +91 22 2414 3200 (Tourist Information) Off P J Ramchandani Marg, Near the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Mumbai KIJK MET ONS MEE: cityseeker.com Algemene voorwaarden | PRIVACYBELEID | API | CONTACTEER ONS | Auteursrecht 2021 CITYSEEKER Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

The three Awards of Distinction went to Lakhpat Gurudwara (Lakhpat village in the state of Gujarat in India); St Ascension Cathedral (Almaty, Kazakhstan) and the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Mullewa, Australia). Five Awards of Merit and eight Honourable Mention prizes were also announced today. The UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Awards recognize the efforts of private individuals and organizations that have successfully restored and conserved structures and buildings of heritage value in the region. Eligible projects must be more than 50 years old and the restoration must have been completed within the past 10 years. Buildings must also have been in viable use for at least one year from the date of the Awards announcement.

  • Mindscapes of Space, Power and Value in Mumbai
    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 9, No. 2, 2014, pp. 277-292 The epistemology of a sea view: mindscapes of space, power and value in Mumbai Ramanathan Swaminathan Senior Fellow, Observer Research Foundation (ORF) Fellow, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) Contributing Editor, Governance Now [email protected] ABSTRACT: Mumbai is a collection of seven islands strung together by a historically layered process of reclamation, migration and resettlement. The built landscape reflects the unique geographical characteristics of Mumbai’s archipelagic nature. This paper first explores the material, non-material and epistemological contours of space in Mumbai. It establishes that the physical contouring of space through institutional, administrative and non-institutional mechanisms are architected by complex notions of distance from the city’s coasts. Second, the paper unravels the unique discursive strands of space, spatiality and territoriality of Mumbai. It builds the case that the city’s collective imaginary of value is foundationally linked to the archipelagic nature of the city. Third, the paper deconstructs the complex power dynamics how a sea view turns into a gaze: one that is at once a point of view as it is a factor that provides physical and mental form to space. In conclusion, the paper makes the case that the mindscapes of space, value and power in Mumbai have archipelagic material foundations. Keywords : archipelago, form, island, mindscape, Mumbai, power, space, value © 2014 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction: unearthing the archipelagic historiography of Mumbai A city can best be described as a collection of spaces. Not in any ontological sense or in a physically linear form, but in an ever-changing, ever-interacting mesh of spatialities and territorialities that display the relative social relations of power existing at that particular point in time (Holstein & Appadurai, 1989).

  • In a Memorable Phrase, Henri Lefebvre Suggests That
    Himanshu Burte The Space Of Challenge: Reflections Upon The Relationship Between Public Space And Social Conflict In Contemporary Mumbai It is a bit surprising even for old Mumbai dwellers to find out the origins of the open play grounds, or maidans, that cut a large swathe across the Fort district of downtown Mumbai. These grounds are the cradle of Mumbai’s cricketing tradition and also represent a welcome open space in a fairly dense urban fabric. Cricket, the colonial sport, incidentally appears to be the one truly national religion we do have in India. At any given time the maidans host a large number of cricket matches played and watched in right earnest, even as large numbers of people cut through these grounds to reach the other side of the district more quickly. It is therefore a bit surprising to discover that these open spaces were created by the British after a serious wave of insurgency to set up a free field of fire between the walled colonial city, or the Fort, and the native town beyond from which they feared attack. Today’s space of organized sport thus traces its roots back to a military strategy in anticipation of violence. Of course, signs of conflict are not immediately visible in Mumbai’s public space. However, many important spaces like the maidans of South Mumbai and spatial markers like the Martyr’s Memorial at Flora Fountain, which is the symbolic center of South Mumbai, have some historically significant link with the inevitable conflicts that mark any large city. In this paper I wish to examine the ways in which the phenomenon of social conflict and the material reality of public space are related.
