Aurangabad & Khuldabad...

Aurangabad was my base for the sublime pleasures of Ajanta & Ellora, but the town itself (one-time capital of the Mughal Empire under Aurangzeb during the latter portion of his reign) is well worth a visit...

...as is the nearby tomb/dargah-drenched town of Khuldabad, famous for the graves of Aurangzeb, Asaf Jah I (the first Nizam of Hyderabad), not to mention a robe of the Prophet Muhammad and a plethora of graves of relatively minor Sufi saints of the Chistiya order...

A selection of my pictures is on shutterfly...
