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.
Frere Temple is made from Porbandar stone. The circular rotunda is supported by six pillars of the Corinthian order, their capitals decorated with acanthus leaves and scrolls. However, unlike Corinthian pillars that are almost always fluted, the pillars at the Frere temple are not fluted.
The Frere Temple originally housed a bust of Lady Frere, which was defaced by vandals. The damaged bust was sent to England but was beyond repair. In its place, a bronze statuary sculpted by English sculptor Herbert Hampton (1862–1929) was installed. The statue is mistakenly identified as Queen Victoria, because of its location in (former) Victoria Gardens.
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.
