Om
Raske fakta: Over 3 millioner mennesker besøker hvert år, noe som gjør det til en av de mest travle vannkanten i verden. Buen ble opprinnelig designet for å ønske britisk kongeligheter velkommen, men utviklet seg til et symbol på Indias rike historie og koloniale fortid.
Høydepunkter: Den storslåtte buen i basalt er 26 meter høy, silhouettert mot Arabiahavet og skaper en fengslende solnedgangsutsikt. Lokale samles ofte her for livlige kveldsprat og gatekjøkken, som gjør monumentet til et pulserende sosialt knutepunkt.
