    Victoria Terminus or Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, as it was renamed after the Maratha warrior, is in Gothic style and took 10 years to be completed. A figure of Progress arises from the top of the central dome and sculptures representing Engineering, Commerce and Agricolture stand on the other gables among friezes, arches, windows. From it set off India's first steam engine covering about 45 km as far as Thane.

    Although photos aren't allowed inside, be sure to enter the Chhatrapati Shivaji train station (renamed in an effort to eradicate English); the interior is very impressive, with Gothic vaulted ceilings and ironwork. My first trip to CST was in a jetlag haze, and I missed out on the architectural beauty of it completely, but I managed to smarten up and return for a second look before leaving. There is heavy, heavy traffic around the building, so be careful when you're backing up to get any photograph of it.

    India's latest addition to the UNESCO world heritage site list is the Victoria Terminus in Mumbai. This collosal colonial edifice looks more like a palace than a train station. The locals have recently renamed this building as the "Chhartrapati Shivaji Terminus", though the old name is still commonly used. Guess they figure that there are enough Lake Victoria, Victoria Falls, Victoria Stations, Georgetowns, Lake Georges etc etc in the world to go around... (I'd likely concur with that sentiment....)

    this is one of the structures which the east india company (british) left behind after the india got her indepence. it has been restored after long by the heritage society of mumbai. a really marvellous structure to see..you should check the details. i have been seeing this place since childhood, but i still glaze at it when i pass around

  • Directions: Victoria terminus (VT) or Chhatrapati shivaji terminus (CST) opposite capitol cinema. its such a prime building everyone in bombay knows it. it is also the last station on the central railway line(CR)

    A magnificent building, completed in 1888, the Victoria Terminus was named after the then Queen Empress on Jubilee Day, 1887. Construction started in 1878 based on a design by F. W. Stevens, and took 10 years to complete. The cost of construction was Rs. 16.14 lakhs (Rs. 1.614 million). The railway station was opened to the public on New Year's Day, 1882. It is now the starting point of the Central Railways. The Victoria Terminus was renamed Chhatrapati Sivaji Terminus on March 4, 1996. In September 1999 pedestrian access to the suburban railway terminus was moved underground. The subway was built at the incredible cost of Rs. 15 crores (Rs. 150 million). This building has long been on the urban heritage list and a protected monument. It was put on the UNESCO World Heritage List on July 2, 2004. It is the first functional administrative building to be put on this list. Unfortunately, some of the lovely carvings are at such an awkward height that you can only get a close view from the top deck of a passing double-decker bus. Citizens and tourists may get a better view of the details when the Central Railways starts guided tours of the structure.

    Built in 1877 by Frederick Stevens, the Victoria Station represents a highpoint of British Gothic architecture in Mumbai. The station was built atop the City’s main dhobi ghat - laundry washing center, now moved to Mahalaxhmi - and was inspired by London’s St Pancreas Station.

    If you truly want to experience what Mumbai commuters have to put up with, try taking a train (preferably off peak) to one of the northern suburbs. You would go from VT to Bandra or Andheri West (both nice areas to visit). You can either catch a direct train at Churchgate Station to Bandra or Andheri or take it from VT and change at Dadar. This gives a new meaning to push and shove.

    This magnificent looking building lies in the old centre of Mumbai. I resembles St Pancras station in London, being built in Victorian Italianate Gothic style. It has carved stone friezes and stained glass windows, flying buttresses and on the top of the central dome is a triumphant figure of Progress. It was bult to commemorate Victoria's Jubilee day in 1887.

    Very extravagant and impressive. A mixture of different architectural styles. It is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. It is said to be the busiest station in Asia. Most probably the most impressive building in Mumbai. It is now called Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST)
