After 20 years, few  of which saw some of Mumbai’s heaviest monsoon, the Mumbai University’s Sir Cowasjee Jehangir Convocation Hall, a jewel of Victorian Gothic architecture and now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Victorian and Art Deco ensembles of Mumbai, is being taken up for restoration.

The hall has witnessed convocations, key seminars, senate meetings, budget announcements and crucial calls taken in the city’s academic milieu.
