Indian Railways, the largest rail network in Asia, has launched a new initiative "Dekho Apna Desh" to promote tourism and national integration in the country. The initiative, called Bharat Gaurav, or Pride of India, allows private or state-owned operators to run theme-based tourist circuit trains on some of the curated routes that showcase India's historical, cultural and religious diversity.[1][2]

The trains are equipped with modern amenities such as AC coaches, modified pantry cars, CCTV cameras, bio-toilets, and onboard entertainment systems. The trains also have a distinctive exterior that depicts the prominent heritage and temples of the regions they cover.[3]
