  "summary": "In Mumbai’s Cumballa Hill area, a historic arch stands over a lane leading to The B. D. Petit Parsee General Hospital. Built during the early 20th century, the arch once delineated the boundaries of the hospital during the bubonic plague outbreak, effectively isolating infected patients from the rest of the city. The ornate columns feature artistic horse-shaped brackets, possibly designed symbolically to ward off evil energies, reflecting the old heritage architecture that once defined the city's cultural identity.",
