CONSERVATION OF KENESETH ELIYAHOO SYNAGOGUE, MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA

Restoration Works
The project started in the month of February 2018 with
restoration and structural repairs of the main roof of the
building. The Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue was built Classical
Revival style with decorative Victorian interiors. The structure
boasts of a large pediment crowning the western facade over
the large semi-circular fenestration housing three unique stained
glass panels flanked by pilasters of fluted Corinthian columns.
The facade has been punctured with neo classical semicircular
and segmented fenestrations. Both the entrances on the
western and northern facade have been marked by smaller
pediments supported by decorative brackets. Another special
feature is the use of vermiculate plaster to decorate masonry
courses on the ground floor.

The primary task for all the façades of the building was that of
scraping of paint and from the stone and the plaster.
