Aurangabad in Persian means 'built by the throne'. Art reigns here in the form of several ruined monuments proudly narrating its rich historical journey. The city named after the famous Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb is the base camp to reach out to Ajanta and Ellora-the names synonymous with amazing wealth of beautiful caves, frescos of multiple colurs and several other artistic splendour surrounded by an air of enigma. In the recent past the city has gone through a make over. Being the largest city of Maharashtra, Aurangabad is developed but at the same time it is a beautiful introduction to the remnants of ancient civilization. |
