Aurangabad district, Administrative district in Maharashtra, India

The district stretches across 10,138 square kilometers on the Deccan Plateau, with nine administrative subdivisions and 1,362 villages within its boundaries.

The region transferred from Hyderabad State to Bombay State in 1956, and finally became part of Maharashtra state in 1960 following territorial reorganization.

The district contains two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Ajanta Caves with Buddhist art and the Ellora Caves featuring Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain monuments.

The district maintains 21 hospitals, 11 educational institutions, and multiple government offices across nine municipalities to serve its 3.7 million inhabitants.

The geological formation consists of Deccan Traps basaltic lava flows from the Late Cretaceous period, with elevations reaching 827 meters at Antur mountain.
