World Heritage Monuments in West India
World Heritage Monuments in West India abound in religious monuments and national parks.
  City Palace   Ajanta Caves    

Caves at Elephanta, World Heritage Monuments in West IndiaWorld Heritage Monuments in West India distinguish themselves from others for their outstanding architecture and intrinsic sculptures. Who can forget the unspeakable charm of the caves at Elephanta or the breathtaking architecture at Ajanta and Ellora caves! The cultural significance and the antiquity of these sites have earned them a prestigious position in the UNESCO World Heritage sites. However it would be wrong to suggest that only temples and palaces are part of this list. The charisma of Indian flora and fauna is inescapable too. Hence certain national parks are also a part the World Heritage Sites in West India.

Keoladeo National Park in Rajasthan is well known as a bird sanctuary in this part of the subcontinent. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai has also been included in this prestigious list. Whether it`s a terminus, a temple, a cave or a national park; all these collectively mirror the cultural pulse of West India.
