Historical Significance

The origins of the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Botanical Udyan and Zoo date back to the 1860s. Initially established as the Victoria Gardens, the space served as a recreational area for British officials.

  • Victoria Gardens: Named after Queen Victoria, the gardens were designed with a focus on showcasing botanical wonders from across the British Empire.
  • Zoological Additions: In the late 19th century, the gardens were transformed into a zoo, adding animal enclosures and expanding the collection of wildlife.
  • Renamed in Honor of Jijabai Bhosale: In 1999, the zoo was renamed after Veermata Jijabai Bhosale, the mother of Shivaji Maharaj, a revered historical figure in Maharashtra.

The zoo's history reflects the changing cultural and political landscape of Mumbai, showcasing the evolution from a colonial recreational space to a significant public institution celebrating Indian heritage and wildlife.
