Local railway stations across Mumbai are grabbing the attention of commuters, and are compelling people to stand up and take notice. Two city-based NGOs brought together 25,000 volunteers to turn the dull and lifeless ss premises of 36 stations into to art hubs.

We hopped in and out of the local trains, travelling from Churchgate to Dahisar on the western line, and from Masjid Bunder to Thane on the central line, to photograph the magnitude of this initiative, titled Hamara Station, Hamari Shaan, and were left awestruck with what we witnessed. Here, we’ve managed to list down somee of the best-looking stations ns that have undergone an arty rty facelift. Each station is painted based on a theme, and also conveys socially relevant messages. r flowe The r Dada etin , mark ridge overb foot ings of Onthe paint see rs, youcan flowe g of sellin mood le peop ringthe et captu mark r flowe the tothe close ed locat on. stati socia Welln l awar essand eness The stati has on paint prem wom ings ises en on clean empo lines werm and s, ent, welln yoga ess.
