Ochterlony Monument was indeed renamed as Shaheed Minar (Martyr's Tower) after India's independence. It was built in 1828 to commemorate David Ochterlony's victory in the Anglo-Nepalese War, and the renaming happened post-1947 to honor Indian freedom fighters.

The rock-cut caves date from 600 AD and contain UNESCO World Heritage-recognized Shaivite sculptures. Ellora and Ajanta caves are in Aurangabad (Maharashtra), while Kanheri Caves are in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai (mainland, not an island).

Mani Bhavan on Laburnum Road was Gandhi's residence in Mumbai from 1917-1934. It's where he launched the Non-Cooperation Movement and Satyagraha. The building now houses a Gandhi museum.

It was established in 1861 and is one of the oldest zoos in India. Malabar Hill is an affluent residential area, Shivaji Park is a large playground (not a garden/zoo), and Vrindavan is a city in Uttar Pradesh, not a Mumbai location.
