Come
with a dream and Maharashtra will fulfill it. One of India's largest, most
populous and economically vibrant states, it also happens to be the film
center of India.
Sandwiched between states on all sides, on its
western border lies the Arabian Sea. The principal languages spoken are
Marathi, English, Hindi, Gujrati.
The capital of Maharashtra, Mumbai
owes its name to Mumba Devi, the guardian deity of the city. It is the
most cosmopolitan city with a pace of its own - which is often breakneck.
It is exciting - jostling crowds, pot-holed roads, rattling suburban
trains, pollution, traffic jams, high rise, beautiful people, Dharavi, the
largest slum in the world et al.

A lot of excitement is because Bombay is "Bollywood",
the 2nd largest producer of films in the world. The Marine Drive,
the Mahalakshmi Temple, Fire Temple,
the Victoria Temple, Gateway of India,
are some of Mumbai's best places. You can go shopping in Bombay at
Colaba Causeway, Chor bazaar, or Zaveri
Bazar if you are on the lookout for some exquisite jewelry.The
Elephanta Caves in Mumbai are a must see.
Closeby
is the city of Pune where the famous Indian Film and Television
Institute and the Max Mueller Center for German Studies is
situated. At nearby Nasik, considered to be one of the 7 most sacred
cities of the Hindus, the Kumbh Mela is held to
commemorate the churning of the ocean by the Gods and demons.

The winter capital, Nagpur, is well known or Ramtek ,where
Lord Ram is said to have spent a part of his exile. The cave shrines of
Ajanta and Ellora ,built during the Buddhist and Jain
periods, offer a splendid view of exquisite statutory, fine chiseled
carving, tableaux in haut and bas relief. The sculptures of Ellora and the
frescoes of Ajanta display scenes from Buddhist and Jain mythology.
The best season to visit is
between November to February when the weather is at its most pleasant. The
rainy season, July - August, and the hot summer months from March to June
