Das Zaheer (OFFSET PRESS OPERATOR APPRENTICE)

It was built to welcome the British king and queen. King George V and Queen Mary visited India back in 1911. The gateway was basically a massive welcome arch for them. It marked the spot where they first stepped onto Indian soil.

Funny thing is, the arch wasn't actually ready for their visit. They only saw a cardboard model of it! The real stone structure took many years to build. It was finally finished in 1924. So, it was made to remember their visit, but they never saw the real thing. It's a pretty impressive sight, right on the water.
