After running a special ‘Shri Ramayana Express’ train, the Indian Railways is planning to operate a new train based on the theme of Ramayana, reports ANI.
The train will take pilgrims to all the locations associated with Lord Ram, officials said on Friday (14 February).
According to the report, the new Ramayana circuit train will start operating from the last week of March. It will give the passengers a feel of temple on wheels with themes and pictures related to Ramayana.
The exterior and interior of the train will be based on the Ramayana theme with bhajans playing on board.
"The train will take people to all places related to Ramayana. The theme of this train will be based on Ramayana. Pictures, thoughts and poems related to Ramayana will be displayed on coaches outside and pictures related to the epic and music will also be played inside,” said V K Yadav, chairman of the Railway Board.
It should be noted that the Railways also ran a special train ‘Shri Ramayana Express’, which began its services in November 2018, covering all the prominent sacred places associated with the life of Lord Ram.
