Gosh what delicate and intricate detailing on this gate - the whole thing is absolutely stunning. I have a friend who lives in Mumbai but she has never mentioned this beautiful gate.

Maybe the gate is too famous to revisit.. I found there is another Gate of India in New Delhi as war memorial. As I was standing to see the Indian Ocean with such many commercial freighters back and forth with full of products, I easily imagined enormous volume of products had been eachanged through this gate in the colonial period.. ^,^
