To provide an ethereal experience to pilgrims arriving for Maha Kumbh Mela via rail, the Indian Railways has transformed all stations in Prayagraj into stunning centres of art and culture under the 'Paint My City' initiative.
According to North Central Railway, the walls of major stations including Prayagraj Junction, Naini Junction, Phaphamau, Prayag Junction, Jhunsi, Rambagh, Chheoki, Prayagraj Sangam and Subedarganj now display exquisite art works depicting Hindu mythology and Indian traditions.
"The art works showcase themes such as the Ramayana, Krishna Leela, Lord Buddha, devotion to Lord Shiva, Ganga Aarti and women empowerment, introducing pilgrims and tourists to the cultural and spiritual heritage of Prayagraj," it said in a statement.
This initiative is not limited to beautification but also reflects the historical and cultural traditions of Prayagraj, it said.
