Sky blue synagogue

Bombay's eminent Baghdadi Jewish family, the Sassoons, built three synagogues. The Kenneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue, 1884, stands in the 19th century business district of Fort, and was designed by local architects Gostling and Morris.
A Victorian compilation of ornament, the building's interior wraps Minton tiles, stained glass, wrought and cast iron, wood gingerbread and polished chunam lime plaster in a sky blue envelop. 
Membership of this water damaged high maintenance synagogue has dropped to less than 50 families, so the World Monuments Fund has prepared a conservation plan and is supporting its implementation.
