Introduction

Maharashtra, a state where a millennium of culture weaves a tapestry of myriad charms.

The spiritual solace of centuries.

The sylvan serenity of the countryside.

The stillness of a thicket disturbed only by a tiger flashing past, or the symphony of tradition from its varied population.

All abound in a unique togetherness.

In Maharashtra, a state as vivid as vivacious.
