Ambajogai
Half a day is enough: see the Yogeshwari Temple and the 11th-century Shivleni Caves, then move on to Aurangabad or Nanded.
Ambajogai is a small pilgrimage town in Marathwada, known as the cultural capital of the region. Its main draw is the Yogeshwari (Ambabai) Temple and the nearby Shivleni Caves, rock-cut monuments from the 11th century. Most visitors come for a few hours on a Marathwada road trip.
