A major hub for tourism in Maharashtra, Aurangabad has been given the title of ‘The City of Gates’ due to the presence of gateways in a large number. Aurangabad is bordered by several sites of historical significance such as the Ajanta-Ellora caves (which have been deemed UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Panchakki and Bibi Ka Maqbara. Established in the year 1610 by a Siddhi military leader Malik Ambar, the city is adjudged the Tourist Capital of Maharashtra, and is also the state’s fifth largest city. Aurangabad used to be a princely state during the British rule, until it was annexed into the Indian Union post the phase of independence. Aurangabad is easily reachable from other cities in the country via air (Aurangabad Airport), rail (Aurangabad Railway Station) and road (about 335 km east of Mumbai).
