The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (Marathi: बृहन्मुंबई महानगर पालिका) (formerly the Bombay Municipal Corporation) or the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai is the civic body that governs the city of Mumbai (Bombay). It is India's richest municipal organisation. Established under the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, it is responsible for the civic infrastructure and administration of the city and some suburbs of Mumbai. Its motto, यतो धर्मस्ततो जय (Sanskrit: Yato Dharmastato Jaya or, Where there is Righteousness, there shall be Victory) is inscribed on the banner of its Coat of Arms. Built in the Indo Saracenic style of architecture the BMC, as it is more popularly known, is the largest civic organisation in the country, and administers an area of 434 sq km.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Marathi: छत्रपती शिवाजी टरमीनस), formerly Victoria Terminus, and better known by its abbreviation CST or Bombay VT) is an historic railway station which serves as the headquarters of the Central Railways. It is one of the busiest railway stations in India[citation needed], and serves Central Railway trains terminating in Mumbai as well as the Mumbai suburban railway.
The station was designed by Frederick William Stevens, a consulting architect in 1887-1888, for the princely sum of 16.14 lakh rupees. Stevens earned the commission to construct the station after a masterpiece water colour sketch by draughts man Axel Herman. After earning the commission, Stevens went on a ten-month trip to Europe to make a detailed study of the stations there. The final design bears some resemblance to St. Pancras station in London[citation needed]. It took ten years to complete and was named "Victoria Terminus" in honor of the reigning Queen Victoria.
In 1996, the station was renamed by the state government after Chhatrapati Shivaji, a famed 17th century Maratha king.
On July 2, 2004 the station was nominated a World Heritage Site by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO.
Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus, is one of the most royal architectural marvel of India. Built 133 years ago, this UNESCO World Heritage serves as the headquarters of Central Railway of India.
The station building is designed in the High Victorian Gothic style of architecture. The building exhibits a fusion of influences from Victorian Italianate Gothic Revival architecture and classical Indian architecture. The skyline, turrets, pointed arches, and eccentric ground plan are close to classical Indian palace architecture.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), formerly Victoria Terminus (VT), is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an historic railway station in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India which serves as the headquarters of the Central Railways. Designed by Frederick William Stevens with influences from Victorian Italianate Gothic Revival architecture and traditional Mughal buildings, the station was built in 1887 in the Bori Bunder area of Mumbai to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The new railway station was built on the location of the Bori Bunder Station[3] and is one of the busiest railway stations in India,[4] serving as a terminal for both long-distance trains and commuter trains of the Mumbai Suburban Railway. The station's name was changed to its present one in March 1996 and it is now known simply as CST (or CSTM).
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and busiest railway station. Formerly named Victoria Terminus, it was built between 1878 and 1887 in the Victorian Italian Gothic style. The design was modelled after London's St. Pancras Stationlliam Stevens, based on an initial design by Axel Haig. The station's roof features church-like by Frederick Wispires and an impressive gothic-style central dome.

This building was decorated on the evening of 69th Independence Day of India.

This is ruins of Raigad fort. Shivaji Maharaj seized the fort in 1656, then known as the fort of Rairi from Chandraraoji More, The King of Jawali. He renovated and expanded the fort of Rairi and renamed it as Raigad (King's Fort). It became the capital of Shivaji Maharaj's Maratha Empire. Walking through this vast fort at one corner these towers reminded me of Gandalf of Lord of the Rings. The tower in which he was impresioned but Saruman was Orthanc.
Orthanc was the black, impenetrable tower of Isengard built by the Dúnedain. By the Great Years and the War of the Ring, it was controlled by the wizard Saruman the White. It stood in the center of the Ring of Isengard, surrounded by great defensive walls fortified by the early Men of Gondor.

Possibly the most populous UNESCO World Heritage structure, it is a part of
daily life for millions of commuters. If you want to know what a “block of people” means, try entering the station at 9 AM on a weekday, when people are rushing to their offices. A great place to observe people of all kinds, seeing the sea of mankind emerge out of the station at rush hours is an interesting experience in itself.

If you follow the game of cricket, you have heard of Sachin Tendulkar. This is the very field where it all started for him as a kid. I read somewhere that he still visits this ground from time to time... never had a chance to see him though !
