The ‘Gateway of India’ was built in the 20th century in Bombay in Maharashtra, India. It is a monument with an arch that was built in 1911 to celebrate the landing of ‘King George V’ and ‘Queen Mary at Apollo Bunder’ when they visited India.
Explanation:
- King George V and Queen Mary were the first British Monarchs who were visiting India and the gateway was not totally made.
- The foundation stone was laid in 1913 and the construction was completed in 1924. It was built in Indo-Saracenic style, which had aspects of Marathi architecture.
- It overlooks the ‘Arabian Sea’ and it is located opposite the ‘Taj Mahal Palace’ and Tower Hotel.
