As millions of residents make their way home from the capital city to celebrate this joyous occasion with their loved ones, an overcrowded train becomes a symbol of both determination and unity. Passengers can be seen perched atop the train's roof, defying all odds and braving discomfort in order to reach their destination. Their resilience is palpable as they navigate through a sea of fellow travelers, each one carrying hopes and dreams for a memorable celebration.
