The last sunrise of 2025 in Mumbai, a golden dawn seen at the Gateway of India

Maharashtra: As the city of dreams stands on the threshold of 2026, the last morning of 2025 painted the Arabian Sea in shades of amber and gold. Early Wednesday morning, many Mumbaikars and tourists gathered at the iconic Gateway of India to witness the year’s final sunrise, creating an atmosphere of reflection and quiet celebration.
A Beautiful Farewell
The sun rose behind the horizon around 7:00 a.m., piercing the light winter mist that had settled over the harbor. The Gateway’s basalt arch, usually bustling with activity, stood silhouetted against a brilliant sky of orange and yellow. Visuals from the site showed the calm waters of the Arabian Sea reflecting the day’s first rays, with traditional ferries and fishing boats moored nearby, creating a serene, postcard-perfect atmosphere. For many, this morning wasn’t just a photo opportunity.
