Things to see and do Maharashtra

Panchakki has two distinct monuments: a dargah and a water mill. It is also a pleasant garden where the inhabitants of Aurangabad love to come.

The dargah of Pilang Posh and Musafir. A dargah, word of Persian origin, refers to a mausoleum built on the tomb of saints soufis. From Pilang Posh, who was Musafir's spiritual master, we know little. Musafir, for his part, left Aurangabad to join Mecca. Upon his return, he settled at the panchakki, which at the time was Shah Sherin's residence, a religious. At the beginning, Musafir had built a madrassa, a bungalow that served him as residence and a water supply system with ponds and tanks. Musafir died in 1110. 7 years later, a noble decided to build the dargah and the Musafirkhana, intended to welcome pilgrims. This large rectangular piece was overcome by a basin that was used for ablutions, but also had the advantage of cooling the dormitory.

The panchakki. The term literally means "water mill". Built in 1744 by Shah Mahmood, it was intended to be used to feed the devots on the grave of the two holy saints. The mill is supplied with water by a canal that dates back to the source 6 km from there. An artificial cascade system activates the wheel that activates the starry. This system is a perfect example of the complexity of medieval engineering and the means used to provide solutions.

Also known as Sunrise Point, it is within walking distance of the city center, the highest point at 1,415 m above sea level. On a large plateau, three round platforms invite you to contemplate sunrise (or sleep). You are advised for platform No. 2. In addition, you can visit the abandoned residence of the Governor "Boy" Malacolm.

Hidden in the old town, near the Porte gate, these workshops are the only place in The where Himroo Himroo Tissés are made by hand with cotton, silk and silver yarns. This art was developed as a better alternative to the extravagant brocades of silk and gold yarns (Kam Khab) woven for royalty in the th century. . is well known for its Himroo, Shawls and Saris. They are found in the many exhibition halls around the market. Most are produced in mass, using powerful loom, but here you can see the traditional process. Many drawings inspired the patterns of Ajanta frescoes.

Located south of the city, the zoo does not really deserve the detour, except for the tiger. However, the snakes park may interest reptiles. A royal cobra of nearly 3 m long and an incalculable collection of reptiles, birds and turtles welcome visitors.
