It is a magnificent building. I assume it is still used today as the court house.
The high court building is certainly an architectural masterpiece!
Yes, pretty pictures! That palace is very interesting. Good job ...!
I didn't see this during my first visit to Mumbai ( four months ) but, surely, I will get there when I return in June.

This is a beautiful building, but I cannot help thinking that the court in Mumbai should be Indian architecture, not European. Having said that, yes, gorgeous pix.
I say recycle the whole building into a gorgeous Indian style court! Thanks, Amy
Very nice!
Nice clicks :)
