Hello, Welcome to Aurangabad !! My name is Tajinder S Gulati, and I am a native of Aurangabad. I have lived here most of my life. I work as a Tour guide (Platinum card holder) approved by the Ministry of Tourism & Culture, Government of India and have over three decades experience of guiding tourists around the world famous World Heritage Monuments of Ajanta & Ellora caves. I am a Masters in Business Administration and have gone through extensive Guides' Training Program conducted by the Department of Tourism, Government of India. I have consistently given services to renowned Travel Companies and I am also on the shortlisting panel of guides for the prestigious and luxurious Train. I love traveling and am well traveled in India and abroad. I love to interact with my travelers on various subjects of History, Culture, Traditions, Religion, Art, Crafts and many more. My hobbies are traveling, watching movies & interaction with people from around the world. Apart from the Ajanta and Ellora caves, which I love to show and guide, I also intimately know Aurangabad as a city and can help you explore it like a local. As a tourist in India you would have explored the bigger cities and their monuments. As a local Aurangabadian, I can help you not only absorb the history and beauty of the centuries-old Ajanta and Ellora caves, but I can also help you understand the culture and life of a satellite city of India. If you look at my picture, you can see that I am wearing a turban. This turban has a story to tell. This represents the fact that I belong to the Sikh community and religion. The turban represents spirituality, honor, piety, and courage. I can share with you much more about this if you are interested.

Overview of your Aurangabad tour
Ellora caves are one of the most visited ancient monuments in India and also one of the top Tourist places in Maharashtra. Adorned with beautiful sculptures Ellora caves are an amalgamation of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain monuments. The cave temples and monasteries at Ellora are excavated out of the vertical face of an escarpment. Extending in a linear arrangement, the 34 caves contain Buddhist chaityas or halls of worship, Viharas or monasteries and Hindu and Jain temples. Spanning a period of about 600 years between the 6th and 12th century A. D. the most imposing excavation is without a doubt that of the magnificent Kailasa Temple which is the largest monolithic structure in the world. Another beautiful monument in the city of Aurangabad is the Bibi-Ka-Maqbara which is the copy of the Taj Mahal of Agra. Also known as the Taj of Deccan, it is the tomb of Dilras Banu Begum, wife of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
