Coolies, a profession inherited from the British era, waiting for the passengers. Others carrying their load of burden. The station is an ecosystem where all sorts of small job people are trying to make ends meet. The journey is an exhausting one for many.

Passengers of a local train in a standstill. Delhi Railway Station is not only about long trips but also about local commuters. The journey is often modest and very slow.
A lady waiting for a train to sell her eatables. You can eat almost everything inside the train station. It is a gigantic restaurant and mini-mall open 24 hours a day. The journey makes you always hungry, they say.

People living in the surroundings often take the short way across the tracks. The railway is then no more than a quick path, for workers or schoolchildren. The journey is short and often dangerous.

The station has many little temples to pray in. The gods are here for the travelers to make a successful voyage. Hindus, Christians, Buddhists… priests of all type ramble across the station. The journey is a spiritual one.
Welcome to the station. Not everybody is waiting for a train. Some just come and deliver goods on their two-wheelers and never actually go beyond Delhi, to discover the magic behind destinations like Jaipur, Mumbai or Goa. The journey is just a dream.
