About
Aurangabad
It's easy to see why many travellers regard Aurangabad as little
more than a convenient, though largely uninteresting, place in which
to kill time on the way to Ellora and Ajanta. First impression seem
to confirm its reputation as an industrial metropolis ; wide
streets, fast traffic, ugly building sites, and gaping patches of
urban wasteland merge into a featureless ferroconcrete sprwal. Yet,
given a little effort, northern Maharashtra's largest city can
compensate for its architectural shortcomings. Scattered around its
ragged fringes, the dilapidated remains of fortifcations, gateways,
domes and minarets - including those of the most ambitious Moghul
tomb garden in western India, the Bibi-Ka-Maqbara -bear witness to
an illustrious imperial past, the small but fascinating crop of
rock-cut Buddhist caves, huddled along the flanks of the
flat-topped, sandy yellow hills to the north, are remnants of even
more ancient occupation.
