So my Invisible Bombay Series starts at Flora Fountain and now ends at St Thomas Cathedral which is again near Flora Fountain completing the full circle and the photographic tour of Kala Ghoda, South Mumbai.

St. Thomas Cathedral, Mumbai remains the first Anglican Church in Bombay. Established in 1718, it was built to improve the moral standards of growing British settlement in India. It was after this church that we get the name Churchgate. In 1837 the church was consecrated a cathedral. The church is very close to Flora Fountain one of the prominent landmarks in the area that I highlighted in the INVISIBLE BOMBAY SERIES PART 1.
