Indian Railways’ tryst with luxury
happened in 1982 when the Palace on Wheels luxury train pioneered the era of
luxury travel on Indian railway tracks. There was no looking back after this. With
the advent of the Maharaja Express rail in March 2010, things have absolutely become
more comfortable and luxurious in train travel.
Such is the excellent tour schedules of
the train and the warm hospitality of the staff that the train has earned
various awards at the national and the international front. The train has
turned out to be the most luxurious rail in India; it rubs shoulders with the
prestigious Orient Express of Europe.
There is hardly a doubt that the train has
redefined luxury. It has brought to life the richness of kings and queens of
the bygone era. The train, with its plush interiors and the ancient and the modern
put together, creates an intriguing atmosphere. You cannot help but feel special
here.
A
rich train ride
The décor of suites and cabins of the
train is inspired by the royal chambers of the erstwhile kings and queens of
India. Luxury on wheels is not a new thing in this country. Several maharajas
who reined in India had built their own rail lines with their personal trains.
For example, the Maharaja of Vadodara
had gifted his son a completely functional toy train. The Maharaja of Gwalior
brandished his silver model train in front of the East India Company officers.
He used to make the train chug on his banqueting table.
The era of Raj saw many Maharajas with
their personal carriages, which were done in sheer luxurious settings. They
used these plush things for state visits, hunting trips, and nuptial stays.
The striking feature of these trains was
their décor. They usually featured exquisite carvings, mirror work, designs
with gems studded on them, intricate patterns, elegant tapestries, and
beautiful jewel work that spell bound people. The trains and their décor spoke
about the pompous lifestyles of India’s maharajas.
The Maharaja Express rail endeavors to
imitate the same pomp and give its travelers luxurious pleasures.
