Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus and still affectionately called ‘VT’ by many, stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of Mumbai. This bustling train station, featured in the film Slumdog Millionaire, is renowned for its extravagant Indo-Saracenic architecture, which seamlessly blends neo-Gothic elements with Mughal and Indian features. Visitors can marvel at the intricate stonework, soaring arches, and ornate domes that make this one of Asia’s busiest and most architecturally significant railway stations. Today, it remains a vibrant hub, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich history and daily life.
