The state of Maharashtra, one of the largest in India in terms of
both size and population, stands mostly on the high Deccan plateau
which stretches east some 800 km. from the Western Ghats. It has the
Arabian sea on the west, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh to the north,
Madhya Pradesh on the east, and Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to the
south. |

Maharashtra means "The Great State". Historically this was
the main centre for the Maratha Empire, which defied the Mughals for
so long, and which, under the fearless rule of Shivaji, carved out
a large part of central India as its domain. Maharashtra's many inland
and coastal forts are a legacy of Shivaji and, to a lesser extent,
the Portuguese.
Maharashtra is an economically important state. |
