Small station in town to connect big cities nearby Good mode of transportation as compared to road transport

Good Climate in cold weather Nov to March Dusty in Summers

Iron hi Iron. Everything is red here. Even tree leaves .

A natural area invaded by the Indian Railways! But the best part still in vogue is that one can cool oneself down by sipping "Raashi" just outside of the station!

Best place for tourists

The station is very poorly maintained. The parking is a mess! Terrible.
