An adorable Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station has placed in Mumbai. Its beauty can't be compared with any station in the world. The building has the unforgettable balance. It has united neogothic and traditional Indian elements in its decoration. At first, the architect wanted to build the magnificent building in the Victorian style but then decided to add outstanding national elements to the austere style.
Nowadays Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is still one of the biggest stations in the world. It serves over three million passengers daily. If you get bored, put the attention to the deviation of the station. Facades and halls were decorated with the inspiration of the decoration of the richest Gentoo Places. The architect saw them in the different parts of the country. There you will see various columns, made of stone sculptural compositions and even the stone ornamental bond.
The station’s building was finished in 1888. It was built and decorated within 10 years. The station was named in honour of the national hero Chhatrapati Shivaji. Since 2004 the most beautiful Indian railway station has been being in a list of the UNESCO World Heritage. The nearby territory is also wonderfully decorated. The square in front of the station is decorated with the exotic plants and landscape compositions. The building looks very attractive even in the evening. Its facades are decorated with an art lightning.
