About this place
Ahilyanagar (formerly Ahmednagar) carries over 500 years of history, with roots reaching back to the Nizamshahi dynasty in 1490. Later chapters include the Mughals under Shah Jahan, the Peshwas, and the British, leaving a layered heritage across the city. Today it sits in west-central Maharashtra, about 120 km east of Pune and a similar distance from Aurangabad.
This is a place where local food culture shines — from roadside dhabas serving gauran chicken to beloved sweet shops. The compact core lends itself to walking and rickshaw rides, making it easy to sample the city's casual, unhurried rhythm.
