Dolphin Lighthouse, Maritime navigation point in Mumbai Harbor, India

The cylindrical lighthouse structure rises 13 meters high near the Gateway of India, featuring an unpainted tower with a white keeper's house and lantern.

The Mumbai Port Trust established this essential maritime navigation aid in 1850 to guide ships through the busy waters of Mumbai Harbor.

The lighthouse participates in the annual Navy Day celebrations during December, when its illumination creates patterns across the Mumbai Harbor.

The lighthouse emits four white flashes followed by a red flash every 20 seconds, with a visibility range of 11 nautical miles for white light.

Military vessels departing from Mumbai Harbor receive a formal 21-gun salute near the lighthouse under the Admiral of the Fleet's command.

Inception: 1850
