Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, formerly Victoria Terminus, is a historic railway terminus and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
The terminus was designed by a British born architectural
engineer Frederick William Stevens from an initial design by Axel Haig, in an
exuberant Italian Gothic style. Its construction began in 1878, in a location
south of the old Bori Bunder railway station, and was completed in 1887, the
year marking 50 years of Queen Victoria's rule.
In March 1996 the station name was changed from Victoria
Terminus to "Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus" after Shivaji, the
17th-century warrior king who employed guerrilla tactics to contest the Mughal
Empire and found a new state in the western Marathi-speaking regions of the
Deccan Plateau.
The terminus is the headquarters of India's Central Railway.
It is one of the busiest railway stations in India, serving as a terminal
for both long-distance and suburban trains.
