For the last two days the central bus terminal is buzzing with activities as the artists from different countries are busy making an art piece for the city. They draw the art piece on one of the walls of the terminal which they called a gift to the cultural city. From the iconic Sayajirao Gaekwad riding his horse to the Banyan trees from which the city gets its name and the crocodiles of Vishwamitri, the artists present the identity of the city in the mural through their art.
