Of the 285 metro stations in Delhi, the Arjan Garh metro station stands out for its vividly painted murals on all sides. The metro stations of Delhi are built huge in view of future planning and the possible increase in traffic in the decades to come and the wide and tall walls provide giant canvases tempting artists to display their creativity. The theme for the murals is evidently birds and animals.

Besides this there are eagles and Kingfisher painted on the various sides that captivate one’s attention when traveling both from Gurugram and Delhi side.

The murals are not only a wonderful rendition of art but also are amusement to the dull and dredged commute both for office-goes and passer-byes at the Arjan Garh station.
Have you seen murals painted at a place that you least expected it to be? I’d be interested in knowing your experiences.
Until then… Happy Guiding
