Poetry in Stone

Flora Fountain, also known as Hutatma Chowk, Mumbai. Built by the British sometime in the 19th century. Named after the Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and the season of spring. Renamed by the Shiv Sainik government, in the post-independence 1990's - a decade of fervent renaming of cities and monuments when Bombay became Mumbai and Delhi escaped becoming Indraprastha by a hair's breadth.
