On the morning of Kartik Purnima (an auspicious day for Hindus), hundreds of pilgrims line up expectantly as a local passenger pulls into Kachhwa Road station. The pilgrims are headed towards Allahabad to take a dip in the holy Ganga on this festival. The train waiting for the crossing is the Lichhavi Express. (Shashanka Nanda)
