Answer:
The "gateway of India" is made of basalt rock.
Explanation:
Along with the rock, reinforced concrete was also used. Basalt is a igneous volcanic rock formed due to cooling of magma near the earth’s surface. The "Gateway of India" is an "arch shaped monument" which was built in Mumbai in the 19th century. This monument faces to the Mumbai harbour. It was built to welcome "Queen Mary" and "king George V" on their "first visit" to India in 1911
