Truly a "Great Land"  and the most fascinating region of India. This third largest state is one of the most industrially and commercially developed states of India. Its chief  city Mumbai, is the true Financial and Industrial capital of India.But modern Maharashtra is not the bustle of industrial and agricultural activity or the frenzied pursuit of wealth 

and progress alone. Very much part of the everday scene anywhere in the state are the signs of its great religious, cultural, historical and martial heritages. Maharashtra offers a traveler idyllic bliss in a land blessed by nature. Quiet and beautiful hill stations, secluded palm-shaded golden beaches, placid lakes and warm springs and a variety of wildlife. These are all part of a land created as it were, only for a relaxing holiday.

Languages: Marathi ,  Famous for: Film Industry and Tourism
