The Golden Chariot has 19 specially-designed coaches. There are 11 passenger cars. The design of the cabins is inspired and draws from the Mysore and Belur Halebid schools of art and architecture. The bedspreads are hand-woven by artisans, the guardians of age-old traditions.
The cars have been named after the dynasties that ruled Karnataka (Kadamba, Hoysala, Rastrakuta, Ganga, Chalukya, Bhahamani, Adhilshahi, Sangama, Shathavahna, Yudukula, Vijayanagara), the birds of Karnataka (Kajana, Kogile, Minchulli, Marakata, Navilu) and Karnataka’s cultural icons (Jambusavari, Dasara, Nandi).
The two restaurants are designed in the style of Belur and Hampi, catering to vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
