Maharashtra

West India's economic artery

As the centrestage for the many empires, notably the Maratha Empire, Maharashtra’s history still echoes in the many hilltop forts and the decrepit mansions spread across the state. Its coastal location has seen the arrival of many traders from far and wide, several of which left their legacy in ethnic communities, worshipping houses, and other monuments that are present to this day. From a sweeping coastline of quiet temple-encircling hamlets to the bustling cities of commerce, from the forested Western Ghats ridges to the rain-shadow plains, travelling the length and breadth of Maharashtra is sure to be an enriching experience.
