Officially known as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the historic city of Aurangabad is located on a hilly upland terrain in the Deccan Traps of Maharashtra. It is a major production centre of cotton textiles and artistic silk fabrics but is most well known for being close to tourist destinations like the Ajanta and Ellora caves. The city retains the cultural flavours and charms of the Muslim culture of Hyderabad, which is reflected in its language—the Dakhni–Hyderabadi dialect of Urdu is spoken widely alongside Marathi and Hindi—and cuisine, such as fragrant pulao and biryani; meat cooked in fresh spices and herbs is a speciality here.
