As your train rolls into this junction, it doesn’t just enter a railway station—it enters the “Rice Bowl of Bengal” and the heaven of sweet lovers.

Why You Must Order Food at Barddhaman Station?
Barddhaman is one of the busiest junctions in Eastern Railway. It caters to the huge rush of local passengers who commute to Barddhaman daily and long-distance express trains traveling from Howrah to the rest of India. Trains usually halt at Barddhaman for a very short time. Most trains only stop here for 2 to 5 minutes. Yes, you read that right. (It is really, really fast!)
The Pitfall: The platform is crowded with thousands of passengers. You know there is no way you can get down in those 2 minutes and buy sweets or snacks. You might just get left behind at the platform! Also, the sweets sold by platform vendors are usually open and unhygienic. No, thanks!
