Key Points
The Gateway of India:-
- It is an arch-monument built in the early 20th century in the city of Mumbai, India.
- It was erected to commemorate the landing in December 1911 at Wellington Pier, Mumbai of King-Emperor George V and Queen-Empress Mary, the first British monarch to visit India.
- The foundation stone was laid in March 1913 for a monument built in the Indo-Saracenic style, incorporating elements of 16th-century Gujarati architecture.
- The final design of the monument by architect George Wittet was sanctioned only in 1914, and construction was completed in 1924. (Hence Option 3 is correct).
- The structure is a triumphal arch made of basalt, which is 26 meters (85 feet) high. It is an effort from the architect George Wittet.
