About
A Baroque-style synagogue built in 1884 by Jewish businessman Jacob Elias Sassoon in memory of his father, one of the few surviving Baghdadi Jewish synagogues in India. Its striking blue-and-white exterior and ornate stained glass, chandeliers and gilded columns reflect the wealth of Mumbai's once-thriving Jewish trading community. It remains an active place of worship despite the community's decline through 20th-century emigration. The synagogue is a protected heritage structure in the historic Kala Ghoda precinct.
