A
Journey into the Past...
Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) and Indian Railways are proud on the success of the Palace
on Wheels which has paved a path for a launch of new tourist
train- Heritage on Wheels, on the available meter gauge
section in Rajasthan.
No
other region in India, or perhaps, even in the world, has such a
large concentration of high quality frescoes as the region of
Shekhawati. In the beginning, this semi-arid region had only its
blank monochromatic palette to offer. No school of painting
thrived till history and circumstances took up this colorless
page and made it blossom with art for almost two centuries -
from 1750 to 1930. Today, this region is commonly called the
'open-air art gallery of Rajasthan.
Experience the colorful Shekhawati region of Rajasthan onboard
the new meter gauge Heritage on Wheels...
