Bomanjee Homarjee Wadia Clock Tower

The Bomanjee Homarjee Wadia Fountain, located at the junction of Bazaar Gate Street and Perin Nariman Street in Fort, Mumbai, was erected in 1882 to honor Bomanjee Homarjee Wadia. A prominent philanthropist, he passed away on July 3, 1862, leaving behind a legacy of significant contributions to the city’s welfare.  

In December 2017, the Kala Ghoda Association completed the restoration of this historic structure under the expertise of conservation architect Vikas Dilawari. Post-restoration, KGA continues to maintain the fountain, preserving its heritage for future generations.
