City of Structures: Mumbai VT

Two Queens and a City

In this city, which is over four hundred years old, two queens from different eras of history have left a lasting impression, symbolizing the epitome of popular imagination: Rani Padmini from the 14th century and Queen Victoria from the 18th century.

Rani Padmini has found her reincarnation in Mumbai's most celebrated premier Padmini taxis, while Queen Victoria lives on through the Gothic-style architecture of the city's most populous railway station.

Strangely, both of these queens are intertwined with the lifeline transportation of Mumbai, each with a unique legacy that stands unparalleled!
