★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A statue of Pherozeshah Mehta at the Indian Parliament House, shows his importance in the making of the nation. He was known as 'The Lion of Bombay' and 'Uncrowned King of Bombay'. In Mumbai, even today Mehta is much revered; there are roads, halls and law colleges named after him. He is respected as an important inspiration for young Indians of the era, his leadership of India's bar and legal profession, and for laying the foundations of Indian involvement in political activities and inspiring Indians to fight for more self-government.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This statue stands tribute to Sir Pherozeshah Merwanjee Mehta, a Parsi politician, lawyer and one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress in the time of the British Empire in India.
The statue depicts Pherozeshah Merwanjee Mehta as a Parsi gentleman wearing the stereotypical Parsi hat, dressed in a suit and the robes of his legal profession. The statue stands directly in front of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai building, opposite Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. The statue is worth a visit. Not only is it a monument to an important man, it looks good standing in front of the municipal building and it’s close to the terminus, an attraction in itself.

Probably the best book in English on Mehta is Hormasji P. Mody, Sir Pherozeshah Mehta: A Political Biography (1921). See also V. S. S. Shastri, Life and Times of Sir Pherozeshah Mehta (1945).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘Sir Pherozeshah Merwanjee Mehta statue’ is situated in front of ‘Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika building’ which is the biggest municipal corporation of India and is located in the old historic area of Mumbai. It is opposite to the ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus’.
The statue is very impressive. Mehta was the one to point out the need for reforms in the Bombay Municipal Government. He was considered the “Father of Bombay Municipality”. The statue is worth a visit. It is not only a monument to an important man, it looks good standing in front of the municipal building and it’s close to the terminus, an attraction in itself.
