The mid-19th-century cultural monument that’s reopened to the public after a year of restoration - Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue! It is the oldest Sephardic Synagogue in Mumbai, constructed in 1884. The synagogue was designed by Bombay architects Gosling and Morris and was paid for by the Sassoon family, who were prominent philanthropists in Bombay.

“Luxury is in each detail”- a famous saying by Hubert De Givenchy, that we at Bharat Floorings and Tiles can relate to entirely! Attention to detail is necessary to create a flawless, luxurious look. At Bharat floorings, we put great emphasis on each and every detail to make your space look beautiful and to create an overall tone of opulence! Interior design is all about having fun and playing with different designs and patterns no doubt, but it’s also important to know which design works well with what colour combination.

Any space should reflect the grandeur, personal taste and aesthetics of the house itself. BFT b...

The journey of Bharat Tiles started in 1922 when the independence struggle was spreading like wildfire. Jamshed Mehta, a colleague of Mahatma Gandhi spoke about achieving economic freedom which inspired Pherozesha Sidhwa to start a tile manufacturing company, along with his nephew Rustom Sidhwa. They worked hard together and started the “SWADESHI MOVEMENT”. When the Bharat Flooring tile company first started in 1922, in Uran, there was no electricity, water or telephone service. The journey was not as easy as you think, there came hardships but with the strength and belief of developing Indian nationalism, the voyage continued. The Sidhwa family owned large sheds at Uran, to manufacture liquor from mogra and rose flowers, oranges and other fruits. Since the sheds lay idle after the British introduced prohibition, the tiles were produced in those sheds and travelled from there to all parts of India. 1923 - Our First Client – Sir Cowasji Jehangir: In 1923, Pherozesha was dis...
