Those who have known India should know that in the early history, India's transportation was ranked among the top in the world. In the last century, India's railroad mileage had reached more than 60,000 kilometers, which was quite outstanding for the world at that time. The traffic we are going to talk about is a special railway station in India - Victoria Terminus.
Victoria Terminus was built in the nineteenth century, located in the largest city of India, more than a hundred years ago. The entire station is as gorgeous as a palace, all retro design, architectural style incorporating traditional Indian aesthetics, is still in operation, and is the largest daily passenger traffic in India.
When the station was built, India was a British colony and people lived in poor conditions. In the late 1990s, British colonial rule was overthrown and the station was renamed after the Indian hero who fought against colonial rule - Jatrapati. Shivaji.
However, the name was so awkward that people used to call it by its old name. The station has retained its traditional charm through history, and the traces of time can be seen, making it both rustic and elegant, full of historical atmosphere.
If you look at the station from the outside, you may think it is the palace of one of the kings in history, with its simple and elegant appearance. This station was successfully selected as a World Heritage Site. It is rich in history and culture, and has become more valuable through the sedimentation of time.
This station has become a must-visit place for tourists, and many people who come to India will come here to take pictures. The most shocking thing should be the station's exquisite carvings, these carvings, in the details of the treatment is very in place, look carefully at each pillar you will find that the pattern carved on it is very fine, a look is spent a lot of effort carved up.
You walk into the station inside more surprisingly, the interior is a vaulted roof design, standing inside is like being in a western cathedral in a TV series. The special chessboard, the pillars are exquisitely carved, even the windows are uniquely designed with stained glass, and the interior is designed with a strong Indian flavor, making you wonder at the skill of the designers and builders.
Victoria Terminus has always been very busy, located in India's largest city, the daily passenger volume is naturally very large, although this station is very large, but there is no indoor waiting room, passengers waiting for trains here are sitting on the floor waiting for trains, I think this point should be related to the traditional culture of India.
This station has become a landmark of India, and many movies will use this station as a location for filming, The history and hope it carries should be much more than other landmarks in India, where you can see all kinds of life and understand the colonial history of India, and you can't help but sigh in your heart how hard it is to come by a peaceful home.
Perhaps the people of India have put their patriotic feelings on this great historical building to always remind themselves to remember their history.
