About Aurangabad
This modest Deccan city serves as the essential gateway to two UNESCO World Heritage sites—Ajanta and Ellora—where 5th-century Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monks carved entire temples into rock faces. The caves preserve thousands of years of artistic achievement in stunning sculptural and painted details. Aurangabad itself remains a working Indian city untouched by tourist transformation.
