[Original caption] General Post Office - Here is to be found a very fine building and an immense amount of business is transacted here. [end]

Opened in 1913, with a central dome modelled after the Gol Gumbaz in Bijapur, this remains one of the iconic "Indo-Sarcenic" style buildings in South Bombay and was recently given heritage status. It remains the largest post office in South Asia.
