A Wedding Bash on Maharajas Express?

Yes, you read that right. You can now rent a 24-coach luxury train for an eight-day wedding bash across some of India’s most famous sights. However, this special idea of a wedding on wheels does come with a price well above the comfort zone for many. Booking Maharajas Express train for 88 passengers for a luxury eight-day wedding package will cost approximately Rs 5.5 crore (B-U-R-N!)
