This is a beautiful mural on a wall in Worli which is close to the Worli fishermen colony as well as the Mahalaxmi racecourse, hence the depiction of fisherwomen selling fish and a jockey showing off his ride.
The Gateway
of India is synonymous with Mumbai. It was built as a triumphal arch to
commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai (then, Bombay).
It was designed by the British architect, George Wittet. In the past Gateway of
India used to be the arrival point for visitors from the west. Ironically, when
the Raj ended in 1947, this colonial symbol also became a sort of epitaph: the
last of the British ships that set sail for England left from the Gateway.
