贾特拉帕蒂·希瓦吉终点站从前的名字叫维多利亚火车站，显示了印度长期为英国殖民地的历史。这个车站和附近的其他主要建筑一样，是维多利亚风格的建筑，即华丽而繁复的装饰和起伏的小圆顶。

　 这一建筑不仅在建筑上富有特色，而且长期以来作为一个公共建筑，显示了印度的工业特别是铁路在殖民经济支持下的发展。这里也是普通人经常接触的地方，有乘客、警察、小贩，至今这里附近的区域还是一个活跃的社区。

Brief Description
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus Station, in Mumbai, is an outstanding example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in India, blended with themes deriving from Indian traditional architecture. The building, designed by the British architect F.W. Stevens, became the symbol of Bombay as the ‘Gothic City’ and the major international mercantile port of India. The terminal was built over ten years starting in 1878 according to a High Victorian Gothic design based on late medieval Italian models. Its remarkable stone dome, turrets, pointed arches, and eccentric ground plan are close to traditional Indian palace architecture. 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 forging a new style unique to Bombay.
