Reminisce the Deccan Architecture- Aurangabad


In airline industry HOLIDAY is a word of AWE!! When I got God-gifted there I chose to elope to Aurangzeb's abode- Aurangabad.


Our tickets were booked with TruJet Hyderabad to Aurangabad /http://www.trujet.com/ebooking/home/

We reached in exactly 85 minutes to the cluster of heritage- rich and laden with architectural awe.A calm air of January kissed us welcome.We opt luxury and choose the best when on holidays and checked in to Vivanta by Taj with TruJet Package 


Ellora

The beauty of Kailash Temple is said to have inspired Satyajit Ray’s novel Kailashey Kelenkari (A Scandal in Kailash). Undoubtedly, the Kailash Temple is beautiful and grand, but other caves of Ellora are also amazing and worth spending time at.What made it such a spellbinding and heart-stirring experience was the realization that all these were cut out of rocks. We paid silent tribute to all those artists who, with their craft, have left behind a wealth of artistic creations, a treat for the eyes, a solace for the heart.The natural and obvious remark was, "how on earth did they manage to create all these out of rocks? It must have taken them ages!"


Tomb of infamous Mughal King- Aurangzeb

From Ellora, we drove to the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Indeed, the city of Aurangabad was named after the infamous Mughal emperor and no visit to the city is complete without a visit to his tomb.

Daulatabad- The fort of Brilliance

The sight that greeted us at Daulatabad was in stark contrast to the refined beauty of the Ellora caves. The fort is conspicuous by the absence of art and grand sculptures. It is bare and reflects the barrenness of the land around it. The importance of the fort lay in its extraordinary strength, the ingenious way it was built to ward off enemies and the mechanisms used to defend it.






The Ravishing Ajanta

The Ajanta caves was our final destination. Located about 104 kilometers away, it is a two and a half hour drive from Aurangabad. Consisting of 29 rock-cut cave monuments, the Ajanta caves were an outstanding display of craftsmanship, testimony to the perseverance of the artists.

  • January-February is a good time to visit. During the day, temperatures tend to soar, but early mornings and evenings are pleasant, with a slight chill in the air.

  • You must carry some light warm clothes if you are traveling in January or February, and also sunglasses and hats. Some background study of the places before the trip is recommended. And DO NOT forget to carry your camera as the place is a photographer's delight!
