India: Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai

Last Saturday I got a postcard from India.

It shows the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus was built between 1878 and 1888 in a mixture of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture and traditional Indian architecture, which makes it an outstanding example of the meeting of two cultures. Today it is one of the busiest train stations in the World. Since 2004 is the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, which was known as Victoria Terminus until 1996, on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
