About The Event
At the southern tip of the erstwhile island of Mumbai was a small port where a fish called the palwa was brought to be sold. The British anglicised Palwa to Apollo, and called the port the Apollo Bunder. The Bunder gave way to a pier the Apollo Pier which grew into a reclamation in the late 19th century. Several iconic structures came up on the stretch around the pier, with the Gateway of India becoming the crowning glory in 1924. On our GatewayGallop heritage walk, we explore the precinct to discover there`s much to it than just the Gateway.
