  • Should foreigners visit Aurangabad instead of Agra & the Taj Mahal? Once you see this video, the answer will be very clear. Before your trip, please note that Aurangabad has been renamed to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (छत्रपती संभाजीनगर). We visited before the name change.
    Aurangabad, located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, is known for its rich historical and cultural heritage. Here are some popular things to do in Aurangabad:
    Visit Ajanta and Ellora Caves: These UNESCO World Heritage Sites are the most famous attractions in Aurangabad. The Ajanta Caves are ancient Buddhist cave temples featuring exquisite rock-cut sculptures and paintings. The Ellora Caves showcase a mix of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain rock-cut temples.
    Explore Bibi Ka Maqbara: Often referred to as the "Mini Taj," Bibi Ka Maqbara is a mausoleum built by Emperor Aurangzeb in memory of his wife. It resembles the Taj Mahal and is known for its beautiful architecture and intricate designs.
    Discover Daulatabad Fort: This formidable hilltop fortress dates back to the 12th century and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Aurangabad. Explore its well-preserved structures, including the fortifications, moats, and various gates.
    Visit Panchakki: Panchakki is a water mill complex with a mesmerizing garden. It was built in the 17th century and served as an engineering marvel to harness water power for grinding grains and operating other machinery.
    Explore Aurangabad Caves: Located on a hillside, the Aurangabad Caves comprise 12 Buddhist caves dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries. Marvel at the intricate carvings and sculptures within these ancient rock-cut caves.
    Enjoy a stroll in Siddharth Garden and Zoo: This picturesque garden is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. It offers lush greenery, a variety of plants, a small zoo, and a children's play area.
    Visit Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Temple: It is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and holds significant religious importance. The temple's architecture and spiritual atmosphere make it worth a visit.
    Explore the museums: Visit the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum (formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum) and the Sunehri Mahal Museum to delve into the region's history, art, and artefacts.
    Try local cuisine: Aurangabad is famous for its delectable cuisine. Don't miss the opportunity to savour local specialities like Naan Qalia, Dum Biryani, and the region's unique Himroo silk textiles.
    These are just a few highlights of what Aurangabad has to offer. Exploring the city's streets, interacting with locals, and immersing yourself in its vibrant culture will enhance your experience.

    Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India is considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.

    The fact that the Kailasha temple was built in less than 20 years outside in only by carving is mind boggling. This is close to impossible even with modern machinery. Also, there are a lot of tunnels underneath the structure that have been blocked off adding to the mystery. Plus there was no evidence of the broken rocks being transported anywhere nearby.

    I went to Aurangabad in 2019 as an extension of a trip with my friends. For many years I wanted to see Ajanta and Ellora. And it was AMAZING!!! These places can't be visited in a rush. We spent many hours in Ajanta Caves, absorbing every detail. The way they were built was an extraordinary work. All the frescos paintings (what is left) are stunning and the sculptures as well. Loved the Maha Nirvana Buddha.
    But...Ellora is mind blowing! When I was there I felt something indescribable. Honestly, I was in awe. The Kailasa Temple is stunning. The huge Shiv Lingam is very powerful. And the Jain caves are a whole other world. They are very mystical, enigmatic. Ellora has so many beautiful carvings and sculptures. One that is outstanding is the one of Ravan in Mount Kailash. Also, there are many carvings telling stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharat.
    Visit Aurangabad with plenty time to watch every detail. Avoid visiting during the months of April and May, because it is extremely hot. We were there in the beginning of April and it was like a desert: Way too hot and dry. Also, we had the chance to visit the Grishneshwar Jyotirlingam. That temple is beautiful, peaceful and very well preserved and taken care of. People were very nice with us at the temple. Aurangabad is 10/10.

If I remember correctly, it was one of the places he was very sad that it wasn’t being upkept-the gardens were overgrown back then.
    WOW! The Temple and caves!! A good friend recently visited some ancient temples/caves in Khujaraho…reminds us why India is the Jewel of Asia!

    The most stunning thing about Devgiri fort were its defences
    9:27 The original bridge was wide enough to only allow 2 people to pass at a time. And the water level of moat could be controlled using dams- to flood the bridge.
    10:46 : The dark labyrinthine alleyways like these were used to confuse and psychologically rattle the enemy. Defending soldiers would hide in the recesses in the walls above and pour boiling hot oil on the invaders below. Labyrinthine pathway would lead to groups of invading soldiers running into each other in the dark, mistaking the other as the enemy and killing their own men. Some dark staircases would abruptly halt leading the invaders to slip into holes which would open outside -150ft fall into crocodile infested moat below. Also These pathways could be filled with smoke when necessary, suffocating invading soldiers.

      .
      Disobeying would bring such punishments beyond the scope of this comment box.
      .
      Not only that, trying to engage in any work not within the caste hierachy would bring chaos.

      They would be thrown and disowned by their own society itself for not obeying that.

It happened in Turkey and Spain so likewise here too. You can also see at the entrance of Rock Cut structure is a Buddha. Inside afterwards some has done renovation. The name is also is not inscribed anywhere to suggest Kailasha. Atleast not visible in your video.We have a similar cave art in Elephanta. Where you can see who the original artist belong to. The Story carving has a lion figure head found in all Buddhist art across Srilanka, Vietnam, China, Tibet. So everyone can draw their own inference. Still loved your efforts.

    I was lucky to have seen Aurangabad in my early travels. It truly is a wonderful place to peacefully explore without the crowds.
    When you compare this to the Taj Mahal, it reminds me of going to Herculaneum instead of Pompeii. There's so much to see when you go to the "2nd popular" destination!
    Great video. Hello, from Seattle USA.

    You are both very nice people. Please take good care of yourself and if you want to venture out into lonely places you want to explore please put it out through some or the other social media outlet and you will probably get more than a dozen strong who will accompany you. It will serve the dual purpose of safety in numbers but also multiply the outreach which seems to be the main purpose of all these efforts. Sort of a meet up every pit stop you make.

    What technology and tools they used... how did they made the drawings and how patiently and accurately they worked is beyond anything...

    Daulatabad was earlier called Devgiri(Locals still call it devgiri ) it was built by Yadav Dynasty in 12th century. This fort is also showed in movie padmavati where khilji was gifted this fort by his king. This fort was hardest to capture and can be only captured by backstabbing can not be won in straight war.

      Mf stop twisting the facts like u people always do. The forts original name is deogiri fort. Muslims took control of it from hindu kings. The whole structure has hindu style carvings. Only muslims built few domes on top n one minaret inside it do give an islamic touch. Stop peddling ur false islamic narratives on hindu monuments. The fort was built by hindus later taken over by islamic invaders n changed its name as daulatabad fort. Every Maharashtrian knows about it. Its a part of their history textbooks 🤦
