Maharashtra
Travel Guide
Maharashtra, a state where a millennium of culture weaves a tapestry of myriad
charms. The spiritual solace of centuries. The sylvan serenity of the countryside.
The stillness of a thicket disturbed only by a tiger flashing past, or the symphony
of tradition from its varied population. All abound in a unique togetherness.
In Maharashtra, a state as vivid as vivacious.
Maharashtra is one of the largest states in India, both in terms of population
and area. Its booming capital Mumbai, makes it not only one of the most important
states economically, but also a major gateway for overseas visitors.
The first well known rulers of Maharashtra were the Satavahanas (230 BC to 225
AD), who were the creators of Maharashtra, and have left a plethora of literary,
epigraphic, artistic and archaeological evidence.
The Maharashtrians' love for art and culture is quite evident in their intense
interest in drama. Their approach to music and dance is rather lusty. Mahasivaratri,
Gokulashtami, Holi and Ganesh Chaturti are the main festivals of this fun loving
state.
No matter what kind of holiday you are looking for, you will find it here. Whether
it is lazing on the sun - swept sands of the 720 kms coastline, or a peaceful
self-exile in the awe-inspiring mountains, or quiet worship at some famous shrines,
or revelation in cave architecture, art and culture or challenging treks or
abundant wildlife thrills, Maharashtra has it all.
