Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, India
From series “Top 14 Most Astonishing Railway Stations in the World”Year: 1888.
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.
