The Golden Quadrilateral is the name given to India's new four-lane highway which connects Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta and Chennai, and other business hubs of India.

India's roads are famous for their potholes and unruly traffic, which can include everything from cows and elephants to massive decorated trucks.

But now with the new highway, all that is changing.

At almost 6,000 kilometres long, it's been great news for the economy and the lives of ordinary Indians.

And now the government's announced even more improvements - from this June they will be building yet another 20 kilometres of road every day and upgrading the road system.

Brajesh Upadhyay from the 大象传媒's Hindi Service has been driving along the Golden Quadrilateral to meet some of the people who rely on the road.

He began his journey in the holy city of Varanasi, which Hindus have been visiting for centuries to cremate their dead as they believe it marks the route to heaven.
