This issue takes us through some of these rare tourist destinations.

Wherever you go in Marathwada, History comes alive in many different ways. From the ruins of ancient forts to the stamp of Mughal rule, from the unique arts & crafts like the Himroo shawl and the Paithani sarees,to the earthy cuisine that has a flavor not found elsewhere, Marathwada is a region of discovery and exploration.
