I walked through Rajabai Clock Tower on the very first day I visited Mumbai and stunned to see it. Even it can be seen from my office window on seventh floor in Nariman Point. The Rajabai clock tower looked stunning, rising from a canopy of green really gorgeous.
I walked up for a closer look. The tower is part of the Bombay University library, built by the famous Jain philanthropist and businessman, Premchand Roychand. He named the tower after his mother, Rajabai. Premchand Roychand's mother was blind and as a staunch follower of Jain religion, she was supposed to consume her dinner before the evening. Legend says that the evening bell of the tower helped her to know the time without anyone's help.
