Mumbai's Grand Golden Jubilee Celebration: A Triumphal Arch, Illuminated Circles, and Radiant Offices This photograph, taken in 1887, presents a stunning view of Mumbai's (then Bombay) triumphant celebration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The image showcases a series of illuminated structures that adorned the city during this historic occasion. At the heart of the scene lies the Triumphal Arch at Colaba, a grand monument designed to commemorate the British monarch's 50-year reign. The arch, adorned with intricate carvings and illuminated by a myriad of lights, stands proudly against the night sky. Surrounding the arch, the Elphinstone Circle and the General Post Office are brilliantly illuminated, their facades transformed into a dazzling display of lights. The Public Works Department offices, too, share in the festivities, their windows aglow with the warm glow of the illuminations. The streets of Mumbai were filled with such decorations, as the city reveled in the joyous occasion. The crowds gathered to witness the spectacle, their faces filled with excitement and wonder. This photograph captures a moment in history, a testament to the grandeur and splendor of a bygone era. The illuminations, a symbol of the British Raj's power and prosperity, cast a magical glow over the bustling city. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Mumbai, India's financial capital and largest city.
