Chatrapathi Shivaji Railway Terminus.

 The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is a UNESCO world heritage site and historic railway station in Mumbai, which serves as the headquarters of the central railway. In March 1996 its name was changed to the present name in honour of the Maratha warrior King shivaji. It is an outstanding example of the meeting of two cultures, as British architects worked with Indian craftsmen to include Indian architectural tradition and idioms thus forging a new style unique to Bombay. The terminus is one of the first and the best products of use of industrial revolution technology merged with the Gothic Revival style, which was based on late medieval Italian models.

 It is the busiest railway station in India. The station was eventually rebuilt as the Victoria Terminus, named after the then reigning Queen, and has been subsequently renamed Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSTM) after Maharashtra's and India's famed 17th century king.
