History

Jehangir Jehangir (1911-1944) was the son of Sir Cowasjee Jehangir, a wealthy business man and banker. The family was Parsee and had come to Bombay from Gujerat early in the 18th century. The son died in a street accident while acting as a liaison officer for the Indian troops in England on 23 October 1944. The mausoleum was built by the father in memory of his son.
