The Rajabai Tower in the Fort campus of Bombay University, against a clear grey sky. This tower was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott who modeled it on the Big Ben of London. It was built between 1869 and 1878. The entire cost was borne by Premchand Roychand and named after his mother Rajabai who was blind and the bell chimes of this tower helped her know the time for dinner which she had to have before sunset as per her religious belief.
