The rocket shaped Rajabai Clock Tower in Mumbai, is approximately 260ft in height. It was paid for by Premchand Roychand, a wealthy 19th century stockbroker & founder of the Bombay Stock Exchange, on the condition that this monument should be named after his mother Rajabai. The tower is closed to the public after several "jumpers". It is unclear whether they were clients of Premchand Roychand!
