Maharashtra is a land brimming with great historic sites, colourful shrines, a fantastic collection of caves, and oodles of food offerings – a State with a diverse, rich, and vibrant culture.

National Geographic in India, in collaboration with actor Sai Tamhankar, will take viewers on an immersive and authentic storytelling journey through a series titled ‘Postcards from Maharashtra’, allowing them to experience the varied attractions as well as the unique culture of the majestic Indian state.

The seven-part series, which premiered on National Geographic on December 29, 2022, will follow Tamhankar as she takes culinary detours, explores and reconnects with her homeland.

From delectable food offerings to historic places of worship, forts and old monuments, the stories will also highlight destinations such as Elephanta’s ancient caves, Aurangabad’s UNESCO heritage sites, and the divine temples of Pune and Nasik. Sai will also be seen exploring cities’ mouth-watering hearty food-servings and shopping destinations.

“At National Geographic, we strive to bring stories that have the power to enlighten our audiences and transform the way we understand the world around us. Our ‘Postcard’ series aims to highlight the most distinctive features of a state through visually stunning imagery and compelling storytelling.

“In this series, we have showcased the beautiful state of Maharashtra which embraces the pristine beauty of nature and cuisines. We are happy to have Sai Tamhankar as the host, making the journey a perfect viewing experience for travel buffs,” said a National Geographic spokesperson.

“From unique ancient marvels to lush greenery, one can experience a bit of everything in the state of Maharashtra.

“We are delighted to have collaborated with National Geographic, who, in collaboration with Sai Tamhankar, has created a series that has captured the true beauty of Maharashtra and brought viewers closer to the state’s undiscovered gems,” said the Director of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra.

“Exploring my state with National Geographic, a brand that is known for its insightful storytelling, in collaboration with Maharashtra Tourism is truly an honour for me. As a result of this opportunity, I was able to rekindle my love for mystic beauty, delectable delicacies, and the rich Marathi culture as a traveler.

“Being a part of the series made me proud to be a Marathi Mulgi, and this series will always hold a special place in my heart,” Tamhankar said.
