About 60 people including historians, researchers, conservationists, civic officials and locals gathered on a windy Tuesday morning at the 66-million-year old monument located in Andheri — Gilbert Hill — as part of the BMC's latest 'Know Your Ward' campaign, which aims to bridge the gap between people from a particular neighbourhood and their heritage surroundings.

The massive monolith column has for long been one of Andheri's best-kept heritage secrets. Historian and Researcher Chandrashekhar Nene of the Khaki Heritage Foundation addressed those who gathered at the site and briefed them about the origin and history of Gilbert Hill. Thereafter, the group walked up to the Gaondevi temple located atop the hill.
