The Martyrs' Memorial at Hutatma Chowk (Martyrs' square) aka Flora fountain.
Ref Wiki: Hutatma Chowk is located in the busy financial district of South Mumbai. It derives its present name from an incident in 1960 when a peaceful demonstration by the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti (United Maharashtra Committee) was fired upon by the police resulting in 105 deaths. The incident was part of ongoing struggles of the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti, amongst others, for the creation of the State of Maharashtra. The shooting proved to be a major impetus for the creation of Maharashtra on May 1, 1960.

St. Thomas Cathedral, Mumbai, completed in 1718, is the
first Anglican church in Mumbai (then called Bombay), to improve the
"moral standards" of the growing British settlement. It is located on
Veer Nariman Road, close to Horniman Circle Gardens and the Flora Fountain.
The name of nearby Churchgate station has reference to this
church.
