Mumbai's energy, the Deccan plateau's forts and 2,000-year-old cave temples.
Maharashtra spans from the Konkan coast on the Arabian Sea, over the forested Western Ghats, onto the Deccan plateau that covers most of the state. Mumbai, India's financial capital, anchors the coast, while inland cities like Aurangabad give access to the rock-cut Buddhist, Hindu and Jain cave temples of Ajanta and Ellora, carved between the 2nd century BC and 10th century AD.
