Aurangabad: Steeped in History and Geology Aurangabad: Steeped in history and Geology About This Experience Aurangabad a small city in Maharashtra has been aracting travellers since centuries because of its rich history and culture. Soul of the city is its past glory and charms, heritage and traditions. May it be Ajanta caves depicting Buddhism in carvings or Ellora which depicted religious harmony in its carefully craed hinduism, Buddhist and jain excavations every a form has a story to tell. Travellers to Aurangabad will nd history dating back to the 2nd century BCE, when the Satavahana rulers established their capital in Pratishtanapura, today known as Paithan. It was around this time that the viharas (monasteries) were carved out of caves in what is now Ajanta, and the stunning cave paintings were made, to be lost and rediscovered in the early 19th century. The carvings in the Ellora caves track the changing founes of three major religions Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism between the 5th and the 10th century CE. Aurangabad has a long association with the concept of heritage. It has seen several dynasties and experienced the power of rulers of dierent religions, cultures and communities, each of which has le its mark on the city. The golden period of city was when the last Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, made the city his capital from 1653 to 1707. With the emperor’s death came the city’s rapid decline, but the brief period of glory saw the building of some fascinating monuments, including Bibi ka Maqbara, a Taj Mahal replica, and these continue to aract travellers from all over the world till date. 헖헢헩헜헗-ퟭퟵ 헣헥험헖헔헨헧헜헢헡헦 We understand that safety of our campers, instructors, as well as the local people are of utmost impoance.
