HUTATMA CHOWK (Flora Fountain): This marvelous fountain was built in 1869, in honor of Sir Henry Bartle and Edward Frere. Named after "Flora," the Roman Goddess of Flowers whose statue crowns this marvelous fountain, Flora Fountain is situated in the heart of the city at a junction of five streets. Next to her are a pair of torch bearing stone patriots that rise from the Martyr's Memorial nearby. It has been renamed Hutatma Chowk or Martyr's Square to honour those who died in the birth of Maharashtra State, of which Mumbai is the capital city. A goddess (flora) and a governor (Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere).
