Maharashtra is a state situated in western India. It has borders with the state of Goa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat as well as the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Towards the west of the state, lies the Arabian Sea.

As per the 2001 census, the population of Maharashtra was 9,67,52,247. It was the second most populous state in India.

About 80 percent people are Maharashtrian and there are Buddhist, Christian and Muslim minorities.

The principal language of the people is Marathi. However, English and Hindi are widely spoken.

There are many temples in Maharashtra which are a blend of the architectural styles of North and South India.

The Ashtavinayaka are a series of eight temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Bhimashankar is a jyotirling or symbol of Lord Shiva. Near Aurangabad are the Ajanta and Ellora caves that are UNESCO world heritage sites.

This state has a moderate climate. The temperature ranges from 16 °C to 35 °C. From July to September is the rainy season.

The ideal time to visit the coastal areas is from September to April.

Amravati 5
Education point of Amravati is best. Peoples are cooperative. But condition of roads is poor like a village Badnera to Amravati road & So many roads like this are worst in condition it was not before ever. When a new person comes to amravati & saw this situation he feel pity for the road. even transport problem is also there. buses timings are odd the student has to miss their class many time due to this transportation. Although this city has its own beauty like Chikhaldara, Maltekadi, Melghat and many more. I love My Amravati very much. Because Some upcoming projects are there which helps increasing job opportunity & economy of it.

Pune 9
Pune is urban yet has a beautiful countryside to it. Kondhwa is the place to be. Vimannagar, Kalyani nagar and koregaon are just like Mumbai city but getting very crowded and commercial. There are a lot of IT companies springing up in Pune. The weather as compared to Mumbai is far better. There is less polllution and the army cantonments and command areas make it a very safe and liveable place because of which the crime rate is also very low. Many mubaikars are migrating to Pune to find some calm and solace. In a few years from now Pune is going to be the "next big thing" ... cheers
