This is Shiv Shakti Bhavan at the intersection of H. T. Parekh Marg and Maharshi Karve Road in the Churchgate area of Mumbai. It’s a superb example of reasonably well preserved and not too modified Art Deco architecture in Mumbai.
A few features that make it Art Deco:
1. A square building with one rounded corner at the intersection of the roads of its venue.
2. Geometric patterns and motifs that harken to Native American art.
3. Balconies with metal railings.
4. Eyebrows above windows and balconies.
5. Threes recurring: three windows at every rounded corner. Three balconies on every side (third not visible on the left hand side though in this picture).
