Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus from India


The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and historic railway station in Mumbai. Formerly known as Victoria Railway Terminus, as it was built to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887, today it is the busiest railway station in India. It was renamed in 1996 in honour of the Maratha warrior King Shivaji.
The stamp is one of the 4 stamps belonging to the "Indian Railway Stations" series, issued by India Post in August 2009.
