The Arabian Sea borders Maharashtra along the West Coast of the state. As India's second most populous state, there are only eleven countries of the world with a population greater than Maharashtra.
Within the borders of Maharashtra are architectural and artistic marvels such as the sacred bathing ghats and temples of Nasik or the old maharaja's palaces of Kolhapur. Other notable attractions are the World Heritage Sites including the Kailasa Temple in Ellora or the series of rock-cut caves in Ajanta.
Monsoon season in Maharashtra runs from May to the beginning of September and the rest of the year is generally hot. The hill stations of the Western Ghats can provide some relief from the heat.
