The claim
The photo shows locomotive train engines with Lord Rama portrayed on them.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that the viral image was AI-generated, not a photograph of real locomotives. It says the Instagram account that posted the image on 26 May 2025 described it as AI-generated, and that two AI-detection tools also identified it as AI-generated.[S1]
Additional context
The review distinguishes the viral image from a real locomotive: it reports that Indian Railways painted a portrait of Lord Shri Ram on locomotive WDP4D 40603 from the New Guwahati shed in March 2024. [S1]
