Charms of Mumbai's Hanging Gardens

The Hanging Gardens, also known as Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens, are perched on the western side of Malabar Hill and provide a tranquil escape in the midst of Mumbai. These terraced gardens, located opposite to Kamala Nehru Park, not only offer stunning sunset views of the Arabian Sea, but they also have artistically carved hedges depicting various animal shapes. The Hanging Gardens, which were created by Ulhas Ghapokar over Bombay's major reservoir in 1881, have a unique history.

Some speculate that the park was created to protect the water from potential contamination near the Towers of Silence. A beautiful overhead view shows the Hanging Gardens Path carefully spelling the initials PMG (Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens) in cursive.
