This 6,500 sq.m. terminal is adorned with local art depicting Lord Ram’s life and features eco-friendly elements like LED lighting and rainwater harvesting.
Accompanying this landmark inauguration are the launch of Amrit Bharat and Vande Bharat trains, promising improved travel experiences and faster connectivity.
