Ramanagaram, located near Bengaluru in Karnataka, is the biggest cocoon trading hub in Asia. Although Solapur Division is already connected to Ramanagaram through Train No. 16536 Pandharpur–Mysuru Gol Gumbaz Express and 17308 Bagalkot–Mysuru Basava Express, Silk Cocoons could not be booked earlier due to the trains’ scheduled halt of less than five minutes at Ramanagaram.
