Joined to the mainland by a long, flood prone causeway, Haji Ali Mosque's domes and minarets dominate the southern end of the Worli seafront. By 2009 when repairs started, this reinforced concrete memorial to a Muslim saint was severely corroded. New construction is in white marble, sourced from the same quarries in Rajasthan that supplied the stone for the Taj Mahal. The towering minaret is complete while other work continues. A local fishermen mends his nets, apparently oblivious to the rising beauty behind him.
