Where is the historic Rajabai Clock Tower located?

A)
Mumbai
B)
Kolkata
C)
Chennai
D)
New Delhi

Correct Answer :   Mumbai


The Rajabai Clock Tower, resembling London’s Big Ben, stands tall in Mumbai.

Built in 1878 by the wealthy broker Premchand Roychand Jain for £5,000, its construction was a testament to his commitment to his blind mother’s needs.

Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the tower, now a World Heritage Site, was originally intended to help Jain’s mother, Rajabai, time her meals with the bell's chimes.

Over the years, it has become a symbol of Mumbai's architectural and historical legacy, featuring only a single chime to mark time.
