Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Railway terminus in Fort district, Mumbai, India
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus features stone domes, pointed arches, and intricate carvings across its massive Indo-Saracenic and Victorian architectural structure.
Frederick William Stevens and Axel Haig designed this railway station in 1878, completing its construction in 1888 to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations.
The terminal merges Indian palace architecture with Victorian Gothic elements through medallions, statues, and decorative patterns created by local artisans.
The station operates 18 platforms serving over 3 million daily passengers through suburban and long-distance trains connecting Mumbai to multiple destinations.
Ten stone medallions on the front wall depict individuals associated with India's first railway system, while a lion and tiger guard the entrance.

The British colonial period from 1800 to 1947 created a fusion of European and Indian architectural styles. Palaces, government buildings, churches and railway stations combine Victorian, Gothic and Indo-Saracenic elements. These structures in Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and other cities demonstrate the cultural exchange of this era.
