Bombay has long been referred to as Gateway of India. A large ceremonial gateway was erected in 1911 to commemorate the first visit ever made to India by a British king and queen. Through this gateway the last British viceroy departed in 1947, marking the termination of almost 350 years of official British presence in India.
Boat tours and ferries to Elephanta Island leave from the steps at the bottom of the Gateway.
