Bombay Gothic

Bombay Gothic refers to a unique architectural style that emerged in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It blends European Gothic Revival elements, such as pointed arches and intricate stone carvings, with local influences and materials. Characterized by grand structures like churches, banks, and civic buildings, Bombay Gothic reflects the city’s colonial past and its cultural diversity. Notable examples include the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and the Elphinstone College. This style represents Mumbai's historical significance and its evolution as a cosmopolitan metropolis.
