The '''Hanging Gardens''', in [[Mumbai]], also known as '''[[Pherozeshah Mehta]] Gardens''', are terraced gardens perched at the top of [[Malabar Hill]], on its western side, just opposite the [[Kamala Nehru Park, Mumbai|Kamala Nehru Park]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=World|first=Republic|title=How did the Hanging Gardens in Mumbai get its name?

The park was designed and laid out in 1881 by Ulhas Ghapokar over Bombay's main reservoir, some say to cover the water from the potentially contaminating activity of the nearby [[Tower of Silence|Towers of Silence]]. When seen from the air, the walkway inside the park (Hanging Gardens Path), spell out the letters PMG (Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens) in cursive.<br />
