Railway Station ko Hindi mein kya kahate hain?

In everyday spoken and written Hindi, Railway Station is simply called:

• रेलवे स्टेशन (Railway Station)
• स्टेशन (Station)

Indian Railways officially uses 'रेलवे स्टेशन' on all its signboards. There is no requirement to use pure Hindi for this term.

If you translate the English words literally into pure Sanskritized Hindi, the translation becomes a long tongue-twister:

लौह पथ गामिनी विराम बिंदु (Lauh Path Gamini Viram Bindu)

• लौह (Lauh) = Iron
• पथ (Path) = Path/Road
• गामिनी (Gamini) = Traveler/Goer
• विराम (Viram) = Rest/Stop
• बिंदु (Bindu) = Point (Translation: The stopping point for the iron-path traveler)

Note: This word is ONLY used as a joke, a fun fact, or a riddle. No one uses it in real life.

• Train: रेलगाड़ी (Railgadi) — This is widely used.
• Junction: जंक्शन (Junction) — Where three or more train routes meet.
• Platform: चबूतरा (Chabutara) — But everyone uses 'प्लेटफ़ॉर्म' (Platform).
