The Maharashtra Tourism especially in Ajanta and Ellora ostensibly declined after Aurangabad city’s name change as ‘Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’. The city Aurangabad is known in the world for its world heritage sites such as Ajanta & Ellora, Bibi Ka Maqbara, Daulatabad fort and Araamgaha of Aurangzeb. City’s new name ‘Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’ is strange for international tourists. Sambhajinagar is strange for the tourists. Besides, the State also lost more than Rs 1000 crore with a chance of entering its first and only heritage Aurangabad city in UNESCO's world heritage city list. UNESCO is said to have withheld the proposal of heritage city of Aurangabad after its name changed as ‘Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’. The world heritage proposal was moved by the then Fadnavis Government in 2017. If UNCESCO had approved the proposal, Maharashtra would have earned over Rs 1000 crore from UNESCO and crores of tourism business from international tourists. Aurangabad would have been the second heritage city after Ahmedabad of Gujarat, if the Maharashtra government proposal had been approved by UNESCO.
