The Gateway Of India was built as an arch commemorating the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India. The yellow basalt stone structure, that is beautifully carved with intricate designs, is also an epitaph of sorts of the British, as the last English ship sailed from this point. A flight of stairs behind the gateway descend into the waters, where motorboats take visitors on a short ride over the famed Mumbai harbour.
