Capturing the Soul of Aurangabad
Had an incredible time exploring ancient history and stunning landscapes with Photography & Travel Tour (Nhiếp Ảnh & Du Lịch) this past October. A journey through time I won't soon forget!
Aurangabad serves as a major gateway to some of India's most profound historical and religious sites. The city is a hub of Mughal and Deccan history, offering a blend of ancient rock-cut architecture and medieval fortifications.
The region is globally renowned for its ancient cave complexes, which showcase the height of Indian rock-cut architecture and religious art.
My photo collections from this trip include:
- Ajanta Caves: a UNESCO Heritage site consisting of 30 Buddhist cases dating from the 2nd century BCE to about 480 CE.
- Ellora Caves: a monumental achievement of religious harmony, featuring 34 monasteries and temples belonging to Busshism, Hinduism and Jainism.
- Pitalkhora Buddhist Caves: this complex of 14 rock-cut monuments dates back to the 2nd century BCE, making it one of the earliest examples of Buddhist architecture in the country—older even than much of Ajanta.
- Bani Begum Garden: a quintessential Mughal "Charbagh" (four-quartered garden) serves as a memorial for Jahan Banu Begum, the consort of Prince Bidar Bakht and daughter-in-law of Emperor Aurangzeb.
- Bibi Ka Magbara: a 17th-century mausoleum commisioned by Prince Azam Shah in memory of his mother, Dilras Banu Begum.
- Dautalabad Fort: a formidable 14th-century fortress perched on a conical hill, once the capital of the Tughlaq dynasty.
- Ugrasen Ki Baoli: striking 14th-century stepwell located in the heart of New Delhi, near Connaught Place.
