Maharashtra is also known for its vibrant culture which is rich, complex and diverse and is reflected not only in its collage of festivities and folk dances, but also through its rich literature and classical musical legacy. The state is home to a large number of shrines, be it temples, or mosques or churches because of which it has become one of the most common sites among religious travelers and pilgrims, Most of these shrines, along with a number of historical places, are located around Aurangabad, another important city of Maharashtra, History of this city dates back to the second century B.C., which indicates that it was located on ancient trade route from Ujjaini (North) to Pratishthana (Paithan), Capital of Satawahana, and the Tagare (Modernter) in South.
