West India (Maharashtra)

Maharashtra
India’s western gateway is Mumbai, with a major
international airport and harbour. The city’s rise
from the dowry of a Portuguese queen to the country’s
foremost sea port, commercial centre and producer of
films has been nothing short of meteoric.Mumbai’s
Gothic architecture is embodied in the Gateway of India,
Bombay High Court, Old Secretariat, University Buildings
and Victoria Terminus. Open spaces in this crowded city
include Chowpatty Beach, Juhu Beach and Sanjay Gandhi
National Park, the latter a fine wildlife park at Borivili.
Bombay is the country’s premier cultural centre.
Jehangir Art Gallery attracts regular art exhibitions;
Prithvi Theatre is well known for its theatrical performances,
and the National Centre for Performing Arts periodically
hosts Indian and international concerts of music and
dance. The city’s shopping embraces informal fashion
and accessories at Colaba Causeway, antiques –
and clever reproductions of antiques – at Chor
Bazar, gold and diamond jewellery at Jhaveri Bazar,
high fashion at Kemps Corner, Bhulabhai Desai Road and
the airconditioned shopping plaza at The Oberoi.

Mumbai (Bombay)
Gateway to India & capital of Maharashtra, Mumbai
was once a cluster of seven islands called Heptanasia
by Plotemy in AD 150. The word Mumbai (locally called)
however, is derived from Mumba Devi or Maha Amba Aai,
the patron goddess of the kolis or fisherfolk, who have
been its original inhabitants.

Pune (Poona)
Located in Sahyadri hills near the west coast of India,
Pune is a fascinating city with a healthy climate all
year around. Known until not so long ago as Poona, the
city was the capital of the powerful Maratha empire and
is closely associated with the great warrior king Shivaji.
Today, Pune is distinctly divided into the spacious cantonment
and the crowded old city, where locali-ties have been
named after days in the week.

Aurangabad - Ajanta &
Ellora
Aurangabad, 400 km from Bombay, is linked by Indian Airlines
flights. Spectacular rock cut caves and cave paintings
exist at two nearby places, Ajanta and Ellora. The most
notable feature of these cave temples is that entire hillsides
were cut away with the artisan’s chisel to produce
some of the world’s most exquisite sculpture. Ellora’s
34 caves are over 10 centuries old and represent elaborate
sculptures of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain faiths. The caves
at Ajanta date back to the 5th century and contain paintings
and sculptures of major events in the life of the Buddha.
Aurangabad is a convinent base for organising visits
to the famous rock-cut temples of Ajanta & Ellora.
The town is named after Aurangzeb, the last of the six
great Mughal Emperors, who built a mausoleum here for
his wife.

Ajanta
The thirty rock-hewn caves at ajanta which are cut into
the scrap of a cliff are Chaityas (Chapels) & Viharas
(Monastries). Most of these are carved so that a flood
of natural light pours into them at any given time of
the day. Both the facade & the inside of the chambers
faithfully reproduce the structural patterns known to
those ancient builders. On the walls are paintings, many
still glowing with their original colours. The outer walls
are covered with brilliantly executed sculpture. The caves
are not numbered in chronological order. Cave nos. 9,10,
12, 13 are the earliest belonging to Hinayana sect of
Buddhism. Cave no 1 to 8, 11 and 14 to 30 are of Mahayana
sect among these Mahayana Caves nos. 19, 26 & 30 are
the Chaityas and rest of them are Viharas. The most notable
of all these caves are 1,2,9,10,16,17,19 and 26, here
ancient Indian art attained the zenith of its development
and revealed a dynamic rhythm of life.

Ellora
There are 24 caves at Ellora, carved between 7th &
11th century AD. These cave temples represent 3 religious
faiths. Carved in sickle shaped hill, spread north to
south in a area of 3 kms, they were dug into the slope
of a hill. Of these 12 are Buddhists, 17 are Hindus and
5 are Jains. The most remarkable of the carved shrines
at Ellora is the Kailasa Temple. It is 50 metres in length,
33 metres wide & 30 metres high. The fantastic edifice
has been chiselled out by hand from single rock with Gateway,Pavillion,Courtyard,Assembly
Hall,Vestibule,Sanctum and Tower-hall those out of the
same enormous rock.
