Gateway of India...

Foundation laid in 1913

And construction completed in 1924

Standing tall since then....

Black and white,

To red and bright,

From just a monument,

To glory in sight,

With an architecture of Indo-Saracenic,

It provides a beauty scenic,

Making it a delight to watch,

Just like a scoop of butterscotch,

It also holds the agitation,

Of British conquest and colonization,

And captured the contentment,

Of living in a nation independent,

As it saw the last troops leave,

For an independent India to weave,

It is a definite jewel in the crown,

Now synonymous to Mumbai town,

From Black and white,

To red and bright
