History of Hanging Gardens Mumbai

Even in the nineteenth century Mumbai was a sprawling busy city, Amidst the crowded location of Mumbai overlooking the Queen’s circle a green garden was envisaged by Mr. Ulhas Ghopokar, the location was at the Malabar hills which was also the then water reservoir of Mumbai. The Malabar hills had the Parsi (Zoroastrian) Angiyari (A place of fire worship) and the tower of silence. (Tower of silence is the place where the Zoroastrians leave bodies of their dead to be exhumed by the scavenger birds). The people of Mumbai feared the water reservoir to be contaminated by the activities of the tower of silence, So the gardens were designed to safeguard the water reservoir. This was done in 1881. The gardens were later nomenclated as Pheroze shah garden in memory of a renowned advocate Mr Pheroze Shah Mehta who was also a known philanthropic and a social activist. Many attractions since then have been added to the garden.
