You can soon add the beautiful sunset view to your picture-perfect moment at Girgaum chowpatty, courtesy the BMC. The civic body plans to give the iconic landmark a much-needed makeover by adding a viewing gallery, and sprucing up its bund walls right after the city bids farewell to its favourite deity, Ganpati Bappa. The BMC is in the process of drafting the project estimates and is likely to appoint a contractor by next month.

The viewing gallery will be on the lines of the one set up near CSMT and Hanging Garden, and will be set up near Tambe Chowk. The BMC plans to enhance the look of the bund wall by using Ashlar masonry stones, which will be placed in sync with those on the exterior of Wilson College.
