2 rakes for the Varanasi Vande Bharat and the reverse Varanasi Vande Bharat, and one is for the Nagpur Secunderabad Vande Bharat.
What about the fourth rake? Where is that rake?

Kuch doubts hai.

Overall, kitne Vande Bharat kal inaugurate honge?

Aur ICF Chennai se 4 rakes of 20 coacher Vande Bharat dispatch hue hain, but sirf 3 rakes introduce hone waale hain.
2 rakes Varanasi Vande Bharat aur reverse Varanasi Vande Bharat ke liye aur ek Nagpur Secunderabad Vande Bharat ke liye.

Fourth rake ka kya? Woh rake kahaan hai?

Vande Bharat's gonna run from Deoghar to Varanasi through Nawada and Gaya starting September 15. PM Modi's gonna kick off two Vande Bharat trains from Jamshedpur to Patna and Deoghar to Varanasi on that day. The train on the Deoghar-Varanasi route's gonna be blocked for four months 'cause they're working on the Rohini bypass. During this time, it'll go from Deoghar to Varanasi through Gaya. Once the bypass stuff's done, it'll go back to the usual route via Nawada. The train leaves Deoghar at 7:10 PM, hits Gaya at 10:20 PM, and gets to Varanasi at 1:30 PM next day. Coming back, it leaves Varanasi at 6:20 AM, gets to Gaya at 9:10 AM, and reaches Deoghar at 1:30 PM. This new train's gonna help folks visiting Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar, Vishnu Pad Temple in Gaya, and Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi.

15 September se Nawada hote hue Gaya ke raste Deoghar se Varanasi tak chalegi Vande Bharat Vande Bharat 15 September ko Deoghar se Varanasi aayegi Nawada aur Gaya ke raste. Pradhan Mantri Narendra Modi do Vande Bharat trains ko Jamshedpur se Patna aur Deoghar se Varanasi ke liye flag off karenge 15 September ko. Deoghar-Varanasi Vande Bharat Nawada aur Gaya se guzregi. Deoghar-Varanasi route chaar mahine tak band rahega kyunki Rohini bypass par kaam ho raha hai. Is bandi ke dauraan, Vande Bharat train Deoghar se Varanasi tak Gaya ke raste chalegi. Bypass ka kaam khatam hone ke baad, train phir se apne asli raste pe chalegi, yani Deoghar se Varanasi tak Nawada ke raste. Vande Bharat train Deoghar station se 7:10 PM pe nikalti hai, Gaya 10:20 PM pe pahunchti hai, aur Varanasi 1:30 PM agle din aati hai. Wapas ka safar Varanasi se 6:20 AM pe shuru hota hai, Gaya 9:10 AM pe pahunchta hai aur Deoghar 1:30 PM pe. Ye nayi train service un yatriyon ko fayda degi jo Baidyanath Dham Deoghar, Vishnu Pad Mandir Gaya, aur Kashi Vishwanath Mandir Varanasi ja rahe hain.
