Flora Fountain, Gothic Revival fountain in Fort district, Mumbai, India.
Flora Fountain stands at the intersection of five streets, featuring Portland stone sculptures of the Roman goddess Flora and four seasonal figures.
The fountain was constructed in 1864 for 47,000 rupees after the demolition of the Old Mumbai Fort during urban improvements led by Sir Bartle Frère.
The surrounding plaza, renamed Hutatma Chowk in 1960, honors those who died during the formation of Maharashtra State through a dedicated memorial.
Visitors can reach the fountain via local trains to Churchgate station or taxis to Dadabhai Naoroji Road in South Mumbai's financial district.
Local cricket players used the fountain area as an informal playing ground, incorporating the monument into their street games during quieter hours.
