A star gazing project will be started at Ajanta Caves site in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The project will be operated from a secluded site called 'Ajanta view point', which is away from the light and gives a 270 degree view of Ajanta Caves hill, MTDC general manager Chandrashekhar Jaiswal told PTI.

The site would be located where the caves were accidentally discovered by Madras Presidency officer John Smith on April 28, 1819 while hunting a tiger, as per local officials.
