Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus

Mumbai’s great railway terminus is both an active station and a Victorian Gothic landmark, so the best visit balances architecture with busy rail use.

Why go

The station gives a powerful sense of Mumbai in motion beneath an elaborate historic exterior. Look for the central ribbed dome and the lion and tiger figures near the entrance, then notice how the building still serves commuters. The exterior and public station areas make a satisfying stop without assuming access to offices or tours.

What to look for

  • The central ribbed dome crowns the terminus.
  • Lion and tiger figures mark the entrance.
  • Historic architecture remains part of a working railway station.

Useful to know

  • Leave room for commuter movement when viewing the entrance.
  • Do not assume station access includes administrative rooms or a heritage tour.
