Prong's Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Colaba, India
The white stone lighthouse rises 41 meters high with a tapered cylindrical shape, featuring a double balcony and lantern at its summit point.
The British authorities constructed this lighthouse in 1875 to replace the older Colaba Point Lighthouse after numerous shipwrecks occurred in Mumbai Harbor.
The Grade-I heritage structure displays three horizontal bands in red, white, and black colors, marking the entrance to Mumbai Harbor.
The lighthouse emits white light flashes every ten seconds with a range of 23 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the waters of Mumbai.
This offshore lighthouse maintains staff members who operate the facility within military territory, requiring special permits for visitor access during low tide.
