CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ TERMINUS
Mahapalika, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is located in Mumbai on the Western Part of India touching the shores of the Arabian Sea. This building, designed by FW. Stevens, is spread across a 2.85 Hectare area. The terminal was built over a period of 10 years starting in 1878. This is one of the finest functional Railway Station buildings of the world and is used by more than three million commuters daily. This property is an outstanding example of Victorian Gothic Architectural Revival in India, blended with the themes derived from Indian Traditional Architecture.
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 fusion of two cultures, as British architects worked with Indian craftsmen to include Indian architectural tradition and idioms thus forging a new style unique to Mumbai. This was the first terminus station in the subcontinent.
