    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Gateway of India is a building that was constructed in 1924. The arch is made of basalt, and it stands at 85 feet high. It is located on the waterfront at the Apollo Bunder in South Mumbai. It has been often described as the Taj Mahal of Mumbai due to its popular tourist activity. The site is managed by the Archaeological Survey of India. While the Gateway is symbolic of colonial subjugation, it also evokes a sense of cultural identity and belonging to those in Mumbai, which can be paradoxical to some.
The Gateway of India was constructed to serve as a symbolic ceremonial entrance for important colonial personnel.
In terms of the design, the design was conducted by Scottish architect George Wittet, it combines diverse elements of Hindu and Muslim architecture with Gothic cusped arches and domes and spires. The structure was built using yellow basalt stones enmeshed into a reinforced concrete structure and features impressive carved stone latticework known as jali. Jali is a common feature of Indo-Islamic architecture, jali meaning “net” is a form of architectural decoration of perforated stone through the use of geometric or calligraphic designs.
