The Rajabai Clock Tower, resembling London’s Big Ben, stands tall in Mumbai. Built in 1878 by the wealthy broker Premchand Roychand Jain for £5,000, its construction was a testament to his commitment to his blind mother’s needs. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the tower, now a World Heritage Site, was originally intended to help Jain’s mother, Rajabai, time her meals with the bell's chimes. Over the years, it has become a symbol of Mumbai's architectural and historical legacy, featuring only a single chime to mark time.
