This city gets its name from Aurangzeb, the last of the great Mughal emperors. It is famous for the Ajanta and Ellora caves. Carved by hand with only picks, hammers and chisels, these gigantic cave temples of Ajanta & Ellora are really sculptures worked into whole mountainsides. Here, from the 2nd century onwards, were carved exquisite cathedrals and chapels, temples and monasteries in the rock-face. Sculpture of the highest quality was part of the architectural design.
