Top 5 Places to visit in Maharashtra
Be it the Gothic Victorian structure of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus or the long-stretched beaches or be it the pompous energy of Ganesh Chaturthi festivals, Maharashtra is personified when being mentioned. Located in western India, Maharashtra is the third largest state in the country. It is bordered by the states of Madhya Pradesh to the north; Chhattisgarh to the east; Telangana to the south; and Karnataka to the west. Apart from its beaches and historical places, Maharashtra is acquainted with surreal hill stations, pristine beaches, and adventurous wildlife sanctuaries, which make the place suitable for people of all kinds.

The history of Maharashtra can be traced back to the 4th century BCE. The region now known as Maharashtra was part of the Maurya Empire. The state was ruled by many prominent dynasties, which makes the place a profound place of historical importance. Be it the Satavahana dynasty, the Vakataka dynasty, or the Chalukya dynasty, or the Rashtrakuta dynasty. In the 11th century, the Chalukya dynasty was replaced by the Yadava dynasty. It was the Nizam Shahi dynasty that was replaced by the Mughal dynasty in the 17th century. Finally, it was in the 18th century that the Maratha Empire made an impact on freedom from the British Raj, which is still celebrated today. After the independence of India, the state of Maharashtra was formed in 1960.
 
Today, the state is the biggest centre of industry and is the economic capital of India. However, if you are visiting the state and wondering where to have the ideal time, below are some of the ideal places.

Visit the historic AurangabadView Gallery - 6
An offbeat location and known for its historical monuments and intricate architectural structures, Aurangabad is a city in Maharashtra and is one of the most important cities in the Marathwada region of the state. Aurangabad is named after the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb. The city is a tourist destination because of its many historical monuments, including the Ajanta and Ellora Caves, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Ajanta and Ellora Caves are a series of Buddhist and Hindu cave temples. The Ajanta Caves are located in the Aurangabad district, while the Ellora Caves are located in the nearby city of Ellora. The caves were carved out of the cliffs between the 5th and 10th centuries AD.

Dating back to history, Aurangabad was founded in 1610 by Malik Ambar. In 1653, Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor, made it the capital of the Mughal province of Deccan. Aurangabad was the site of a battle between the British and the Marathas in 1803. Aurangabad was also the site of an important battle between the British and the Indian National Army in 1942.

Enjoy the perfect weekend at Mahabaleshwar

Enjoy the perfect weekend at MahabaleshwarView Gallery - 6
One of the most visited hill stations in Maharashtra, Mahabaleshwar is a small town in the Satara district of Maharashtra. Mahabaleshwar is one of the few places in India where five rivers meet: the Krishna, Venna, Savitri, Koyna, and Gayatri. The town is also home to the Mahabaleshwar Temple, one of the most important Shiva temples in the region. The town was originally known as Mayureshwar, after the Hindu god Shiva's devotee, Mayura. It was later renamed Mahabaleshwar, meaning "Great Lord of Bliss".

The British discovered Mahabaleshwar as a hill station in the mid-19th century and developed it as a tourist destination. Many of the town's colonial-era buildings remain intact and are now used as hotels and guesthouses.

The place is also now known for the cultivation of strawberries and cranberries, and one can find local vendors selling those at the roadside.

Places like Pratapgad Fort, Venna Lake, Elphinstone Point, Mapro Garden, and the Chocolate Factory are some of the must-visit places. Mahabaleshwar is a highly popular destination for honeymooners and is also home to a number of adventure sports activities, including trekking, rock climbing, and rappelling.

Explore the nooks and corners of Mumbai

Explore the nooks and corners of MumbaiView Gallery - 6
Overlapping the Arabian Sea in its background, Mumbai, ‘the city of dreams', is one of the most important cities in Maharashtra. With numerous beaches like Juhu Beach, Chowpatty Beach, and several others on one side, and the gothic architecture in South Mumbai, it provides a contrasting imagery of the whole Mumbai. The location is significant because it retains the charm of the past through the monumental structures of The Gateway of India and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus on the one hand, while celebrating the rapid expansion of urban life on the other. Not to mention the city's pride in its culture and admiration from people of all faiths, as evidenced by the Siddhi Vinayak temple, Mahalaxmi temple, Haji Ali Dargh, and Thomas Cathedral in the city centre.

Dating back to history, the British conquered Mumbai in 1761 and ceded Mumbai to the British Crown. Mumbai became the capital of the Bombay Presidency in 1858. In 1885, the first railway line in Mumbai was inaugurated.  In 1947, the British Raj was dissolved, and Mumbai became the capital of the newly independent Republic of India.

Because of its fast-paced economy, the city is now inhabited by people from all over India and around the world. Whether it's the calm Arabian Sea, the numerous fashion streets, or the much-talked-about nightlife, Mumbai has retained a certain enigma that is difficult to describe.
