For posterity
It may have changed names from VT to CST to more recently, CSMT, but what hasn't changed is how it still continues to amaze Mumbaikars and tourists alike. Yesterday marked the day when 13 years ago, UNESCO inscribed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus on its World Heritage List. "Inscription on this list confirms the exceptional and universal value of a cultural or natural site which requires protection for the benefit of all humanity" reads the document. And with its breathtaking stone dome, turrets, pointed arches and stone mesh work that blend Victorian Gothic Revival architecture with traditional Indian style, it is indeed heritage that generations deserve to enjoy. We hope the city's authorities take as much interest in preserving it as they do in its nomenclature.
