			The name ''Kala Ghoda'' is a reference to the presence of a black stone statue of [[King Edward VII]] (as the then Prince of Wales) mounted on a horse that was built by [[Jewish]] businessman and philanthropist [[Albert Abdullah David Sassoon]], although this statue was removed from the precinct in 1965 and subsequently placed inside the [[Jijamata Udyan\|Byculla Zoo]]. A local legend stated that the statues of King Edward and the one of [[Shivaji]] on a horse at the [[Gateway of India]] came to life after midnight and battled it out on the streets.<ref>[https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/bUEWoABGaTajyxgDTtDAqK/Revenge-of-the-native.html Revenge of the native - LiveMint]</ref> In 2017, the 'Kala Ghoda' returned to the area with a new statue of a similar looking horse without a rider, being commissioned by the Kala Ghoda Association. The statue, titled 'Spirit of Kala Ghoda' was designed by architect Alfaz Miller and sculpted by Shreehari Bhosle.<ref>{{Cite news\|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/mumbai-over-50-yrs-on-kala-ghoda-returns-today-4456297/\|title=Mumbai: Over 50 yrs on, Kala ghoda returns today\|date=2017-01-03\|work=The Indian Express\|access-date=2017-06-08\|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news\|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/kala-ghoda-in-mumbai-gets-its-dark-horse-back-without-king-edward-vii/story-wepqTCkJ2JokJUQc3ScRUK.html\|title=Kala Ghoda in Mumbai gets its dark horse back without King Edward VII\|date=2017-01-03\|work=hindustantimes.com/\|access-date=2017-06-08\|language=en}}</ref>
