Indian Railways has flagged off a new deluxe train for Buddhist pilgrims, called the Buddhist Circuit Tourist Train. This comes a few months after it launched the Shri Ramayana Express which covers destinations associated with the life of Lord Rama.
And then, there was Tirtha Yatra Yojana train (Shirdi, Nasik etc). Railways has special facilities for such coaches – Venetian windows, decorative lighting, geyser etc.
Who else is monetizing religion at this scale?
