Rechristened as Mahatma Phule Market, it was built in 1871
by William Emerson, the bas-reliefs, at a height, adorning the facade,
were designed by J.L.Kipling at the School of Art, a stone's throw away.
It is the largest wholesale fruit market in the country and a visit there
can be a 'fruitful' experience, especially during the mango season. But
sadly, most of the vegetable & fruits are moving to New Mumbai's Wholesale
Market. |
