The octagonal bandstand inside Jijamata Udyan was commissioned in 1937. Its construction was funded by Seth Hargovandas Jeevandas and handed over to the Bombay Municipal Corporation for the use and benefit of the public. Marble busts of Seth Hargovandas Jeevandas and his wife Bai Harkorbai are installed at the entrance to the bandstand.
Installation of pyaavs to provide drinking water to humans and animals was an act of philanthropy made by prominent members of the various mercantile communities in Mumbai. There are four pyaavs installed inside Jijamata Udyan, which have been restored and are fully functional today, serving drinking water to visitors. Every pyaav, however, has its own indigenous water engineering and water dispensing method.
There are four pyaavs inside the Jijamata Bhonsle Udyan that have been restored and are fully functional, serving drinking water to visitors. Two pyaavs were erected in memory of Ardeshir Dadysett, one in memory of Seth Samaldas Narsidas, and the fourth in memory of Khimji Mulji Randeria.
Ardeshir Dadysett pyaav has taps placed on multiple sides within an ornate niche. Stylistic elements comprise the multifoil arch, fluted pilasters, and floral borders. The wash basin is shaped like a blooming lotus flower.
Edward VII (1841–1910) was the King of the United Kingdom and Emperor of India, from 1901 until his death in 1910. His equestrian statue earlier stood at Kala Ghoda, which got named after the black (kala) horse (ghoda). In August 1965, the statue was dismounted from its plinth and shifted to Jijamata Udyan. The plinth is displayed at the Bhau Daji Lad Museum.
The equestrian statue of King Edward VII was sculpted by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm (1834-90). It was donated to the city by industrialist and philanthropist Albert David Sassoon (1818-96) who commissioned it to mark Edward's visit to India in 1875-76 when he was the Prince of Wales. Edward succeeded Queen Victoria as the English monarch in 1901.
Scholars believe that Ardeshir Dadysett had commissioned two pyaavs in 1912, one placed at the Dadysett Atash Behram at Marine Lines and another at Dadysett Wadi in Walkeshwar, as corroborated by the information gathered from contemporary newspaper Parsee Prakash. At some later stage, as they fell out of use, the pyaavs were relocated to Jijamata Udyan, where they stand now.
