Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of University Garden in Bombay (Mumbai), India, circa 1890s. This photograph transports us to a bygone era, where lush greenery, tranquil water bodies, and elegant architecture harmoniously coexist. The University Garden, located in the heart of Bombay, was a popular recreational spot for the British community during the late 19th century. Established in 1862, the garden was a part of the Elphinstone College campus and was named after the then Governor of Bombay Presidency, Lord Elphinstone. This photograph showcases the garden's serene atmosphere, with its meticulously manicured lawns, vibrant flower beds, and shady trees providing a welcome respite from the bustling city life. The presence of several European families and their Indian servants, dressed in their finest attire, adds to the image's intriguing narrative. The Victorian-style pavilion in the background, with its ornate columns and intricate carvings, stands as a testament to the British influence on Indian architecture during this period. The reflection of the pavilion on the calm, still water of the pond adds a sense of depth and dimension to the photograph. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural diversity that Bombay (Mumbai) once embodied. The University Garden, with its enduring charm, continues to be a cherished piece of Bombay's (Mumbai's) heritage, inviting us to explore and appreciate the city's fascinating past.
