Situated on the country's western coast, Maharashtra is a state filled with Buddhist relics. You can travel through the state and admire the Buddhist carvings and architecture here. Although many of them are in ruins one is still left to wonder as to how such mega structures were built and how long did the construction take.
The intricate carvings on the life of Buddha is common on most of the architectures. Some also contains the carvings of the rulers under whose reign the structures were built. Still serving as a religious place for Buddhists, these relics are in a sorry state and are under the care of nature. So let's set out to explore these ancient relics built by our ancestors that still live on with us here.
