Award of Merit

A notable Award of Merit was given to Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue by UNESCO for the outstanding work done in 2019 in restoring the building (exterior and interior).

The building is now recognised as a Heritage Site

The project was undertaken by internationally renowned restoration Architect Abha Narain Lambha and sponsored by the Jindal Foundation headed by Sangita Jindal.

This is an honour we treasure. The Synagogue is now the cynosure of the city of Mumbai particularly in South Mumbai. Tourists from all over India and abroad want to visit it on their visit to the city.

It has also become a hub of Heritage Walking Tours of South Mumbai, particularly during the Annual Kala Ghoda Arts & Crafts Festival.
