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) of Shivaji Maharaj.[4] A skywalk from Deccan Gymkhana PMPML bus stop on J. M. Road has been built to reach the station.[5] In the future, the station will be connected with another skywalk from Good Luck Chowk on F. C. Road.[6]
