Street corner view of Shiv Shanti Bhuvan, an Art Deco apartment building situated on Maharshi Karve Road along Oval Maidan. Designed by Merwanji Bana & Co for Dr Rajjab Ali Patel, this building is a part of the first set of buildings that were erected on the Backbay Reclamation Scheme. With its distinct chajjas protecting the interiors from the harsh glare of the sun, the building is also referred to as the 'Eyebrow Queen' of Mumbai.

This heritage property is a part of 'The Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai', a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was inscribed to the list on June 30, 2018.
