Knesset Eliyahoo, Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Kala Ghoda district, Mumbai, India.
The Knesset Eliyahoo Synagogue features a turquoise exterior, stone masonry basement, brick superstructure, and Victorian stained glass windows throughout the building.
Jacob Elias Sassoon established this religious center in 1884, making it the second oldest Sephardic synagogue in Mumbai, designed by British architects Gostling and Morris.
The sanctuary contains ornate pillars, marble-bordered bimah, and separate women's gallery upstairs, following traditional Jewish architectural principles with western orientation toward Jerusalem.
Located at 55 Dr. V.B. Gandhi Marg in downtown Mumbai, the synagogue maintains regular services and welcomes visitors under the management of Jacob Sassoon Trust.
The 2019 restoration project earned UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award of Merit for returning the building to its original white color scheme with indigo borders.
