Hanging Gardens of Mumbai, Terraced garden on Malabar Hill, Mumbai, India.

The Hanging Gardens spread across multiple levels on the western side of Malabar Hill, featuring numerous hedges shaped into animal figures and walkways.

Built in 1881 by Ulhas Ghatkopar, the gardens were created above Mumbai's main water reservoir to shield it from contamination from nearby Towers of Silence.

The gardens, also named Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens, honor a notable Parsi leader who served as President of Bombay Municipality and Indian National Congress.

The gardens open daily from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM without entry fees, offering paths for exercise and benches for viewing Arabian Sea sunsets.

When viewed from above, the garden's main walkway forms the cursive letters 'PMG', representing Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens.
