The station has become a living art museum of wildlife and already people are jumping off the train to see this unique station that is becoming the pride of the local community.
 Five to six thousand square feet of station wall has been painted by a team of local artists led by masters Narayan Singh and Gajanand Singh, original members of the Ranthambhore School of Art. Fabulous and huge birds and animals, trees and lakes adorn the pillars, walls and ceiling. (Aditya

The project is wonderfully inclusive and has a broad appeal to all visitors, from the local villager to foreign tourists, conveying a message of conservation and wildlife appreciation
One can imagine the delights of this catching on over the whole of India. A side bonus of the project is how clean the station has become since no one wants to desecrate the images.  (Aditya

 The Rajasthan Chief Minister has appreciated the idea so much that she is extending this heritage station project into a second phase that will include the stations of Kota (themes taken from the Moghal Kota school of art), Bikaner (taking inspiration from the floral prints of Badal Mahal), Jodhpur (Rajasthani puppets), Ajmer (calligraphy), Udaipur (Nathdwara art).

Credit goes to Indian Railways for initiating this project, supported by WWF-India, but the architect of this brilliant idea was ‘tigerman’, Valmik Thapar. (Aditya
Those travelling on the Jan Shatabdi will be able to appreciate the art even before arrival since the train is also being painted by the Ranthambhore artists.  (Aditya
