सलाम बॉम्बे! Salaam Bombay! . Post 2 : Bombay Gothic Ilkal Saree : @onlineilkalsaree . Amongst all the styles of architecture to be seen in Bombay, Gothic is the most awe-inspiring. Celebrating the Bombay style of Gothic in this post. It was the style chosen to build most of the government and public utility buildings, universities and churches, when the ‘Urbs Prima in Indis – the first city of India, was being built. It was nothing but the Gothic-revival style, most innovatively adapted to local conditions. Some of the remarkable structures built in this style are the CST (formerly known as the Victoria Terminus), the Bombay University, the High Court, David Sassoon Library and the Crawford Market. The pointed arches, the trefoil, quatrefoil, cinquefoil and multifoil stained glass windows, the grotesque yet fascinating gargoyles and the recognizable human faces at the main entrances, define the style in general. Some unique Indian elements, in terms of carved motifs and lattices, define the Bombay style in particular . For instance, the ornate Peacock motif and the statues of Bombay’s philanthropists atop the Rajabai Tower. Rudyard Kipling’s father John Lockwood Kipling and his art students had a great contribution in the creation of these buildings. All the pictures in this post have been taken by me over a period of three years, using different kind of cameras. Some with a tele lens DSLR and some with a mobile phone. They were taken more for documentation than for display of photography skills. This is by no means a comprehensive post about Bombay Gothic. It’s just my tribute to this intriguing style that doesn’t fail to enchant me everytime I am in the Fort. Please don’t forget to share which of the Gothic buildings is your favourite! 😊 . #desidrapesinbombay #salaambombay #desitaleswithdesidrapes #bombaystories #bombaygothic #gothicarchitecture #gothicrevival #mumbai #oldmumbai #bombaylove #indiangothic #ilkalsaree #mumbaiheritage #historyofmumbai #mumbaiculture #mumbaistory #mumbaiarchitecture #sareeandthecity #mumbaiphotography
