Inscribed in English within an arched niche, the name of the pyaav and its erection for public use by Javerbai, widow of Seth Narsidas Devidas, in memory of her son Seth Samaldas Narsidas. The year of installation (1903) is mentioned at the bottom. The Gujarati translation is inscribed on the opposite face of the pyaav.
Seth Samaldas Narsidas pyaav has lion-faced faucets on four sides through which water emerges and flows into the stone trough at the bottom. The overspill is collected in the Koi Fish Pond and recycled through the fountain. The trough was added during restoration to suit the purpose of a fountain and a pyramidal capital was added at the top.
Though it is known that Seth Samaldas Narsidas pyaav was erected in 1903, it is not known where it was originally located before it was installed at Jijamata Udyan. The pyaav was in derelict condition before it was restored by the Heritage Cell of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The fountain was converted into a Koi Fish Pond on the site of an existing well.
