Description
A black and white photograph of Victoria Terminus (now renamed Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus) photographed on an unusually rainy day, with sheets of rain pouring down. The minimal traffic resulted in an undisturbed view of the grand building.
The terminus is a UNESCO world heritage site and a historical landmark, and one of the finest functional railway stations in the world. Built in 1888, it is a magnificent vestige of the British Raj in India. It has an outstanding Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, blended with themes from Indian traditional architecture. It was designed by the British architect F.W. Stevens, who used the stone dome, turrets and pointed arches widely used in traditional Indian palace architecture.
