The Rajabai Tower is a clock tower in South Mumbai, India. It is located in the Fort campus of the University of Mumbai. The tower stands at a height of 85 m (280 ft). Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, an English architect, it was modelled on Big Ben, the clock tower of the UK houses of Parliament in London. The foundation stone was laid on March 1, 1869 and construction was completed in November 1878. The total cost of construction came to Rs. 2 lakhs (Rs. 200,000), a princely sum in those days. This entire cost was defrayed by Premchand Roychand, a prosperous broker who founded the Bombay Stock Exchange on the condition that the tower be named after his mother Rajabai.
