The Madurai railway division’s move to beautify the walls of the Madurai Junction station with the help of local artists has yielded results as it has been adjudged the second most beautified station in the country by the ministry of railways.

The paintings have been done with the help of local sponsors. The ministry selected Madurai as the second most beautiful station in the country along with Madhubani in the East Central Railway in the in-house competition held for the most beautiful railway station. The first prize of ₹10 lakh each was bagged by Balharshah and Chandrapur in Central Railway. The second prize winners received ₹5 lakh each. For passengers entering the air-conditioned waiting hall at the station, a pleasant surprise awaits them as the walls were painted with various murals relating to Madurai.
