Description

Posted in Category: [Architecture]  

This is another perspective of the BMC Building!

1st May is celebrated as Maharashtra Day. Maharashtra attained statehood on 1st of May, 1960 when the then state Bombay state was divided into two states, Maharashtra and Gujarat on the basis of different languages, Marathi and Gujarati, under the Saurashtra re-organization act. Maharashtra retained old capital Bombay, which was later renamed Mumbai.

Maharashtra is one of the largest states in India, both in terms of population and area. Its booming capital Mumbai, makes it not only one of the most important states, economically, but also a major gateway for overseas visitors.

In Mumbai, the Maharashtra Day celebrations are held at the Shivaji Park in central Mumbai. The governor of the state takes the salute at the ceremonial parade, comprising members of the state reserve police force, Brihanmumbai Commando Force, home guards, civil defence, fire brigade and city police.

Maharashtra Day, 2010 was celebrated as the 5oth anniversary. The Municipal Corporation Building (in this picture), and other heritage buildings like CST railway station etc. were illuminated. A sizzling laser show was held at the Girgaon chowpaty.

Venue: BMC Building, 1st May, 2010.

    Grt shot. The good and effective usage of wide angle. The combination of warm tone and the blue sky gives a good feel. Keep the spirit.
