Location

Located on the banks of Mutha River, the station is 26m high, 28m wide and 140m long. Its design is inspired by the Mavala Pagadi (turban) popularised by Shivaji Maharaj.[3] A skywalk near Bal Gandharva Ranga Mandir on J. M. Road has been built to reach the station.[4] In order to improve connectivity for passengers living in peth areas of the city, a cable-supported skywalk in the shape of tanpura is being constructed from the riverside road to the station.[5]
