    Superb, I can say this is a hub of Mumbai local trains ๐Ÿš†. This is fully decorated and designed by British Rulers. Every time when you will visit you can found there are so many crowd. You can find train for every place. The last train time is at 1 o'clock in night and 1st morning train will start at 4 AM. Outside of the station there is a big market, you can buy anything in very less price. There is a park and one Mahal I think name is Victoria Palace. Thanks

    Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus) The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus Station, in Mumbai, is an outstanding example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in India, blended with themes deriving from Indian traditional architecture. The building, designed by the British architect F. W. Stevens, became the symbol of Bombay as the โ€˜Gothic Cityโ€™ and the major international mercantile port of India. The terminal was built over 10 years, starting in 1878, according to a High Victorian Gothic design based on late medieval Italian models. Its remarkable stone dome, turrets, pointed arches and eccentric ground plan are close to traditional Indian palace architecture. It is an outstanding example of the meeting of two cultures, as British architects worked with Indian craftsmen to include Indian architectural tradition and idioms thus forging a new style unique to Bombay.

    Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is one of the major train stations in Mumbai. It's also one of the most beautiful train station buildings in the world. It's an amazing mix of Gothic revival and Indo-Islamic style especially in the many domes that crown the roof of the station. Inside the station is free l richly decorated with gilded columns, statues and relief sculptures. Definitely go both day and night as it's beautifully lit up then. Sun down is also a good time to go as the fading sunlight reflects beautifully off the red bricks.

    Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus stands as a famous railroad terminus and the UNESCO World Heritage Site and Heritage Site in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The terminus was organized by British-born architectural engineer Frederick William Stevens from an introductory format by Axel Haig, in a high-spirited Italian Gothic technique. The terminal was built over 10 years, beginning in 1878, according to a High Victorian Gothic method founded on tardily mediaeval Italian models. Its extraordinary rock dome, castles, edged arcs and unique key strategy stand near to conventional Indian mansion architecture. It is an extraordinary representation of the discussion between the two countries, as British designers worked with Indian craftsmen to encompass Indian architectural tradition and idioms accordingly developing a unique technique extraordinary to Bombay.
