The Gateway of India is a hybrid structure incorporating Indic designs with British forms and was built to commemorate King George V's visit to India in 1911. It is situated on the seafront in the Colaba area of Mumbai. There are five jetties located at the Gateway, of which two are used for commercial ferry operations. It is a major attraction for both domestic and international tourists. Its plaza has hosted a number of cultural events, and the Gateway has featured in several movies. It still serves part of its original purpose by means of being a launch for ferries, boats and yachts that ply between Mumbai and the famed Elephanta Island as well as Alibaug.
