The Gateway of India Monument and the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers Hotel in Mumbai, India
Photo by Flickr Member "Jensimon7"When the Gateway of India was built, it symbolized the City's openness to visitors. The terrorists who attacked Mumbai in November 2008 approached by small boats and docked here.
The tall building in the background is the tower wing of the Taj Mahal Hotel. Designed by American architect Melton Bekker, the Taj Mahal Tower was constructed in the 1970s. Arched balconies offer sweeping views of the harbor.
Jointly, the Taj Hotels are known as the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower.
