MEET the CREATOR

Born from my love for Mumbai and deep respect for its cultural heritage, Bombay Gothic began in 2021 as a way to bring art and architecture into our everyday lives. My work celebrates the city’s iconic Gothic skyline through illustrated cityscapes that spark nostalgia, honour history, and invite you to see Mumbai through a new lens.

As a conservation architect, I preserve the physical fabric of our cities. But through Bombay Gothic, I also try to preserve the intangible — the memories, moods, and magic that make Bombay, Bombay. Every piece is a love letter to the city’s soul — where art, heritage, and storytelling meet.

The Bombay Ballad

A maritime toile of Ballard Estate, in Bombay Gothic maroon on powder-blue nautical stripes.

The Bombay Ballad - maritime toile illustration of Ballard Estate: the Prongs Lighthouse, sailing ships, the Grand Hotel, the Port Trust War Memorial and the Mackinnon Mackenzie Building, drawn in burgundy against powder-blue stripes

Bombay has always been a city shaped by water. The Bombay Ballad celebrates that maritime legacy through an original interpretation of the Toile de Jouy tradition — Bombay Gothic's signature maroon set against powder-blue nautical stripes, weaving Ballard Estate's Edwardian architecture together with the harbour, its lighthouses, ships and tropical landscapes.
