Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (previously Aurangabad) is perhaps Maharashtra’s tourism capital, as it is the base to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Ajanta and Ellora. But there is more to the region around the city than just these two awe-inspiring places. The regions rich heritage includes many geological, historical and religious sites that are not as well-known. At our Online Talk #AroundAurangabad, heritage enthusiast and guide Amod Basole introduces us to the uniqueness of some of these monuments.
