We are excited to announce a short and enriching Heritage Trail to explore some of Maharashtra’s most iconic historic sites.
Elora Cave
Ellora Caves, near Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning rock-cut temples representing Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain traditions. Carved between the 6th and 10th centuries, the complex is famous for the magnificent Kailasa Temple, a single monolithic structure showcasing extraordinary craftsmanship and ancient engineering. Ellora stands as a powerful symbol of India’s artistic brilliance, cultural harmony, and timeless heritage.
Daulatabad Fort
Daulatabad Fort, originally Deogiri Fort, is a historic fortified citadel located in Daulatabad village near Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India. It was the capital of the Yadavas, for a brief time the capital of the Delhi Sultanate, and later a secondary capital of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate. Around the 6th century CE, Devagiri emerged as an important uplands town near present-day Aurangabad, along caravan routes going towards western and southern India.
Grishneshwar Temple
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga is a Hindu temple of Hindu God Shiva in Verul village of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, India. It is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga mandirs.
