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 ‘Gothic City’ 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. Its also one of the most beautiful train station buildings in the world. Its 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 its beautifully lit up then. Sun down is also a good time to go as the fading sunlight reflects beautifully off the red bricks.

This terminus is perfectly an example of cleanliness and security. After the 26/11 attack things have been really very strict. And yes without scanning your luggage you cannot enter the station.

Really loved this place

The world heritage committee of UNESCO nominated this as a world heritage site for the magnificent architecture of this railway turminus on 2004. This is the one of busiest railway station in india. The headquarter of central railway is situated here. It was formerly known as Victoria Terminal, named so in the honour of queen Victoria.

Crowded but beautiful

Historical Place .It is featured in many bollywood and marathi movies.Its Architecture and design is marvelous and also it is appreciated by UNESCO.Its well maintained and its also considered as a Headquarters of Central Railway

The terminus was designed by British born architectural engineer Frederick William Stevens, in an exuberant Italian Gothic style. Its construction began in 1878, and was completed in 1887, the year marking 50 years of Queen Victorias rule, the building being named, Victoria Terminus.In March 1996 the stations name was changed to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (with station code CST) after Shivaji, the 17th-century warrior chieftain who employed guerrilla tactics to contest the Mughal Empire.Shivajis name is often preceded by Chhatrapati, a title with lmean, a king dignified by the emblem of a parasol; a great king. In 2017, the station was renamed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (with code CSTM), where the title Maharaj has literal meaning, Great king; emperor.The terminus is the headquarters of Indias Central Railway.

The authenticity of the structure expresses the rich Italian gothic style through the eye catching 3D-stone carvings of local species of animals, flora and fauna, symbols, arched tympana, portrait roundels of human faces, and stone mesh works on the decorated rose windows. The elaborate detailing of the heritage building is original. It has carvings made in local yellow malad stones blended with Italian marble and polished granite in a few places.The property has been declared as a “Heritage Grade – I” structure under the resolution of Maharashtra State Government Act on 21st April 1997. Continual efforts are being made to improve the overall state of the property and to ensure that the same does not decay due to its use by commuters and visitors.Owned by - Indian RailwaysLine(s) - Central Line, Harbour LinePlatforms - 18Tracks - MultipleConnections - Bus interchange, Mumbai Metro (WIP)Toilets - AvailableATM - AvailableCanteen - Available

No need to explain this place. I had spent my time there for some photography and videography which I have been shared here. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station of Mumbai is a UNESCO world heritage site and is a historical railway station on the Indian Railways network. The CSMT railway station in the financial capital serves as the headquarters of Indian Railways Central Railway.

Railway station It has two different sides one is the local one and another one standbys the express trains. It has cafeteria and waiting area. It also has washroom facilities, ATM and ticket reserving counters.

Currently due to COVID-19 the station is extremely empty. Also the frequency of trains is greatly reduced keeping in mind the decrease in the number of travellers. It is generally a really bustling station and around 8 pm it will be a great task to manoeuvre around.

Mammoth.Gigantic.Enormous.Humongous.May be called as the Best Architectural splendour of British era in India which is more than say 60 years old and still strong.Must have seen numerous new bondings happening and as many break up.Witnessed the most horrific attack by terrorists in India and where Kasab was seen actually carrying the dastardly act of innocent killing, for which was hanged.The window panes, magnanimous towers, the statue in the top of some, the huge watch, numerous ticket windows, biggest railway platforms with 18 sides for trains to stop and start.....It also houses number of de parents of Indian Railways and Central line railway as well. At least witnesses 7 to 8 lakh footfalls of daily commuters from And to the work area of CSTM and around.Neat and clean with food stalls catering to hungry passengers are some time not hygienic. Washrooms are always overflowing with users but maintained.Number of ATMs of nu.ber of banks are on platform towards and between outstation platforms and local ones.Book and newspaper stalls mann the passage to cater to readers. Porters, luggage and carts often block the passengers Allie but is part and parcel of life.Surrounded by JJ school Haj house, BMC office, Aaram vada, theatre, school and close by is the famous Crawford market with Mohammad Ali Road, Bora Bajar street selling Mung wada and Narendra darshan selling sabudana khichadi and fasting items, Pancham Puri wala with his classic n epic Puri Bhashi snacks, close by Suvidha hotel.Trains on Central line, harbour kine and recently Western lime also depart from assignee platforms. Recently outflow bridge towards Express Towers collapsed killing few commuters and the contractor arrested.Magnificent beauty of the architecture can be seen fro. The viewers gallery erected on The junction.For information, connect with me on MaheshKulkarni59 on Instagram.Have w rocking experience at this iconic structure in Mumbai....
