Elephanta Islands, the gateway of India-- Bombay, Impressive sea forts of Shivaji, the Maratha warrior, Shrine to Sai Baba of Shirdi, Studios of Hindi film industry, Osho Ashram of Pune are among the highlights offered by Maharashtra.

The devout solace and the sylvan serenity of the countryside, the tranquility of woods, or the symphony of tradition –everything exists in a unique togetherness, in Maharashtra, a state as vibrant as its vivacious population. Basically a fun loving state, a host of colorful and boisterous festivals are celebrated here as well. The Satavahanas (230 BC to 225 AD), the creators of Maharashtra, have left a surplus of legendary and artistic archaeological evidence. The Maharashtrians' love for art and culture is quite evident in their intense interest in dance, drama and music.

Whether it is basking out in the sun along the sands of the 720 kms coastline, or a serene getaway in the breathtaking mountains, or a calm offering of prayers at a shrine, or exploring the cave architecture, drinking in the rich art and culture or adventurous treks or copious thrills of the wildlife, Maharashtra has it all.
