The new executive lounge will offer the visitors a wide range of complementary and paid services.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) recently opened an executive lounge at Varanasi railway station for offering an enhanced travel experience to rail passengers.
As per IRCTC's official statement, the new ''state-of-art'' executive lounge at Varanasi railway station aims to provide all services and facilities required for comfortable wait for the passengers during pre-departures and post arrivals.
"The design concept is achieved by the balance of "Panchtattva" (Earth, Sky, Fire, Air and Water) that allows tuning our biorhythms to those of the spaces around, bringing in greater balance and deeper cosmic connection to our lives," said the statement.
As per IRCTC, the transition from the hustle of the platform into the lounge impactfully establishes the presence of a focal element. A souvenir shop is also incorporated as a part of design promoting the art and craft culture of Varanasi, it added.
