Should Foreigners Visit Aurangabad? Our Honest Review (Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar)

Should foreigners visit Aurangabad instead of Agra & the Taj Mahal? Once you see this video, the answer will be very clear. Before your trip, please note that Aurangabad has been renamed to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (छत्रपती संभाजीनगर). We visited before the name change.
Aurangabad, located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, is known for its rich historical and cultural heritage. Here are some popular things to do in Aurangabad:
Visit Ajanta and Ellora Caves: These UNESCO World Heritage Sites are the most famous attractions in Aurangabad. The Ajanta Caves are ancient Buddhist cave temples featuring exquisite rock-cut sculptures and paintings. The Ellora Caves showcase a mix of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain rock-cut temples.
Explore Bibi Ka Maqbara: Often referred to as the "Mini Taj," Bibi Ka Maqbara is a mausoleum built by Emperor Aurangzeb in memory of his wife. It resembles the Taj Mahal and is known for its beautiful architecture and intricate designs.
Discover Daulatabad Fort: This formidable hilltop fortress dates back to the 12th century and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Aurangabad. Explore its well-preserved structures, including the fortifications, moats, and various gates.
Visit Panchakki: Panchakki is a water mill complex with a mesmerizing garden. It was built in the 17th century and served as an engineering marvel to harness water power for grinding grains and operating other machinery.
Explore Aurangabad Caves: Located on a hillside, the Aurangabad Caves comprise 12 Buddhist caves dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries. Marvel at the intricate carvings and sculptures within these ancient rock-cut caves.
Enjoy a stroll in Siddharth Garden and Zoo: This picturesque garden is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. It offers lush greenery, a variety of plants, a small zoo, and a children's play area.
Visit Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Temple: It is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and holds significant religious importance. The temple's architecture and spiritual atmosphere make it worth a visit.
Explore the museums: Visit the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum (formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum) and the Sunehri Mahal Museum to delve into the region's history, art, and artefacts.
Try local cuisine: Aurangabad is famous for its delectable cuisine. Don't miss the opportunity to savour local specialities like Naan Qalia, Dum Biryani, and the region's unique Himroo silk textiles.
These are just a few highlights of what Aurangabad has to offer. Exploring the city's streets, interacting with locals, and immersing yourself in its vibrant culture will enhance your experience.

I love that your wife had to tell them she is, in fact, Indian :D EPIC scenery though dude, truly breathtaking! Thank you for another forray into the wonders of India

[@samsan701]

Thanks karl for sharing your visit to Elora temple. It still remains my dream to visit there from childhood. In that passion I came to know much more about this ancient temple. Also to add there are various stories written in Indian languages recent past plot based on this spot. The architecture and history of this temple is unparalleled in world history. My suggestion will be to accompany a guide certified by ASI next time you visit such ancient site. Thanks again for this visit again.

[@KarlRock]

@@jackstander4519 hehe yes, we just laugh about it. Everyone thinks she's a foreigner.

[@naveex6968]

Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India is considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.

[@technicalsolutions85]

It should be in the top of world wonder list..

[@niteshsingh9158]

[@knc2111]

​@@niteshsingh9158It has all three indic religions Hindu, Buddhist and Jainism

[@knc2111]

Despite what Irfan Habib and Romila Thapar tried to teach us for years, Ajanta Ellora represents the unity of all Indic religions, Hinduism , buddhism & Jainism. Aurangzeb also donated money here ( Romila Thapar history studies😀😃😀😀)

​@@shivaharshmurugan7676Are you one of those scammer he exposed? Lol. Why are you so angry?

[@Cryotek]

The fact that the Kailasha temple was built in less than 20 years outside in only by carving is mind boggling. This is close to impossible even with modern machinery. Also, there are a lot of tunnels underneath the structure that have been blocked off adding to the mystery. Plus there was no evidence of the broken rocks being transported anywhere nearby. Thanks for visiting this Karl.

True, india lagged a lot to conserve monuments. Even post independence, several monuments were allowed to vanish. Hope adequate attention is paid now.

[@granand]

Aurangazeb is a genocidal, a tomb of respect is a mistake, he killed thousands of Hindus and entire mughal era Hindus had to pay spl tax for Jiziya tax and even now millions live on my tax to fund their social welfare schemes & of the thousands of historical monuments this has practically no significance and insult to me & my hard earned tax.

[@GowthamV07]

Well most of the northern temples are destroyed by invading arabs. So only few are left. South has many temples intact but congress and allies trying to destroy it step by step.

[@Zudon99]

Agreed with you Karl. Ellora Caves is definitely better than Taj Mahal. I fondly remember visiting Biba qa Maqbara and Kailasa Temple of Ellora Caves in May 2023. 🙏 Glad you and Wife had an amazing time too in Maharashtra!

[@rosanilebron1566]

I went to Aurangabad in 2019 as an extension of a trip with my friends. For many years I wanted to see Ajanta and Ellora. And it was AMAZING!!! These places can't be visited in a rush. We spent many hours in Ajanta Caves, absorbing every detail. The way they were built was an extraordinary work. All the frescos paintings (what is left) are stunning and the sculptures as well. Loved the Maha Nirvana Buddha. But...Ellora is mind blowing! When I was there I felt something indescribable. Honestly, I was in awe. The Kailasa Temple is stunning. The huge Shiv Lingam is very powerful. And the Jain caves are a whole other world. They are very mystical, enigmatic. Ellora has so many beautiful carvings and sculptures. One that is outstanding is the one of Ravan in Mount Kailash. Also, there are many carvings telling stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharat. Visit Aurangabad with plenty time to watch every detail. Avoid visiting during the months of April and May, because it is extremely hot. We were there in the beginning of April and it was like a desert: Way too hot and dry. Also, we had the chance to visit the Grishneshwar Jyotirlingam. That temple is beautiful, peaceful and very well preserved and taken care of. People were very nice with us at the temple. Aurangabad is 10/10.

[@heavenrainheaven]

Hey Karl, finally you visited my hometown in India. Spent 24 yrs of my life there before moving to NZ Auckland. It was pleasure to watch yours and Manisha’s visit there. You should also go to Ajanta Caves. Don’t miss those! Have fun guys.

Namaste! Thank you for this! A wonderful video for a Sunday morning! Now..going to go through my late Son’s photos. I’m pretty sure he went to the little Taj about 10-12yrs ago when they were in Maharashtra. If I remember correctly, it was one of the places he was very sad that it wasn’t being upkept-the gardens were overgrown back then. WOW! The Temple and caves!! A good friend recently visited some ancient temples/caves in Khujaraho…reminds us why India is the Jewel of Asia! I just wish I could return…have to experience these places virtually through your and my friend’s videos..Dhanyavad!

The most stunning thing about Devgiri fort were its defences 9:27 The original bridge was wide enough to only allow 2 people to pass at a time. And the water level of moat could be controlled using dams- to flood the bridge. 10:46 : The dark labyrinthine alleyways like these were used to confuse and psychologically rattle the enemy. Defending soldiers would hide in the recesses in the walls above and pour boiling hot oil on the invaders below. Labyrinthine pathway would lead to groups of invading soldiers running into each other in the dark, mistaking the other as the enemy and killing their own men. Some dark staircases would abruptly halt leading the invaders to slip into holes which would open outside -150ft fall into crocodile infested moat below. Also These pathways could be filled with smoke when necessary, suffocating invading soldiers.

[@WonderfulWorld316]

These are on my list for my next visit to India and I'm 100% sure that I'll be agreeing with you and like them more than I did the Taj Mahal and Agra. Glad you two had the opportunity for this trip and saw something that's new to you as well.

[@azjahptgrg730]

Karl a great video especially in parts not usually on touristic map. You got confused in Daulatabad fort for the mosque. The winner can rewrite history as they please. It happened in Turkey and Spain so likewise here too. You can also see at the entrance of Rock Cut structure is a Buddha. Inside afterwards some has done renovation. The name is also is not inscribed anywhere to suggest Kailasha. Atleast not visible in your video.We have a similar cave art in Elephanta. Where you can see who the original artist belong to. The Story carving has a lion figure head found in all Buddhist art across Srilanka, Vietnam, China, Tibet. So everyone can draw their own inference. Still loved your efforts.

[@jumdas1049]

Just carved by slave labours. Who could never say no to any command. . As it was commanded so they had to do the stone chipping. . Disobeying would bring such punishments beyond the scope of this comment box. . Not only that, trying to engage in any work not within the caste hierachy would bring chaos. . They would be thrown and disowned by their own society itself for not obeying that.

[@starsinthesky593]

​@@jumdas1049you were there at that time just asking

[@0arjun077]

​@@jumdas1049no it's not there is no slavery concept in India but there is caste system. These are build and carved by the viswakarma clan and they pass down the temple construction knowledge through each generation.

​@@jumdas1049this is carved by futuristic technology . Even today you can not make clean cuts on the heaviest rocks on the planet by using slaves with shoves and hammer on their hands. Grow up kid. Being optimistic is good but being stupid is not. Go there first and then be a comment warrior

[@TwoMadExplorers]

Seriously epic! Thanks Karl

[@davidlambert5171]

Totally agree with your summation there, Karl. I was in Aurangabad a few times around mid 90s and took at least 2 trips out to the caves. Back then they were far less visited by both Indian and foreign tourists. The 'mini Taj" was so peaceful and, then, well maintained and the Buddhist caves were considered mostly Buddhist. I wonder if the Hindu rebranding is part of the Modi thing.

[@herambpatkar]

I think you are confusing this with Ajantha caves. Those were mostly buddhist caves, where as this Ellora site has around 17 Hindu, 12 buddhist, and 5-6 Jain caves and structures..so, yeah, they are correct this site signifies religious harmony!

[@davidlambert5171]

Thank you for the correction. They are stunning whatever religion they support.@@herambpatkar

[@infinite5795]

​@@davidlambert5171Hinduism is actually more old than all Abrahamic religions combined, so it's not surprising that even the carvings of Hindus here are older than even Jain or Buddhist carvings.

[@BilalBilal-xc5mc]

​@@infinite5795 Judaism is more than 3500 years old, Christianity is 2000 years old, Islam is 1400 years old. Hinduism is more than 4000 years old. So Hinduism is not older than all abrahamic religions combined.

[@jumdas1049]

Both jainism and buddhism originated in Bihar. . Both the founders were kingsman. They were similar too. But born at different times. . Common themes are rejection of 4 Vedas and Gayatri mantras. . Lot of overwriting has been done on hindu cultures and architechture since their conception. It is at its peak from 2014 onwards. . As a matter of fact Both the religions are incompatible and invalid in the core concepts with Vedas. Hence seperate religions.

I went there when I was a kid, now looking at all these visuals definitely making my trip there soon.

Amazing video, thanks Karls 🙏

Unbelievable that this place does not get the attention it deserves, a monument which can never again be built in spite of all the tech advances. Thanks for showing us Karl. You rock!!

Its nostalgic. I visited Ajanta-Elora more than 15 years back.

This has to be the most impressive made made wonders knowing the fact that these were built without machines. Incredible!!

Taj Mahal is not long ago, beautiful mausoleum, how Ajanta & Ellora twin places are very ancient & the sculpture stunning beyond imagination, the hard work seen in every inch of it.
