Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus

This guide to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai looks up at Progress, the fourteen-foot stone figure holding a torch and a wheel atop the dome since 1888, and asks how she got there. You'll hear how British engineer Frederick William Stevens broke ground on the terminus in 1878 meaning to announce empire, only to have Indian art students carve its grotesques, foliage and balustrades, and how a lion and a tiger were set deliberately at the entrance to balance Britain and India. It's a guide about whose hands actually built a building meant to celebrate someone else's rule.
