Next to the High Court on Bhaurao
Patil Road, the Venetian Gothic Bombay University has a Gothic clock tower
260 feet high, that is curiously adorned with oriental figures. In the
old days it used to play Rule Britannia, God Save the king, Auld Lang
Syne and a Handel symphony among 16 tunes that changed four times a day;
now the repertoire is restricted to wafting chimes of the big Ben on the
quarter hour.
