Paithan

From Freepedia

Paithan, formerly Pratishthana, was the capital of the Sātavāhana empire of ancient India. It is located within 50 km of present-day Aurangābād on the Godavari River in Maharashtra. Paithan was also the home of the great Maharashtrian saint Eknath, whose tomb can be found there. The town is famous today for its sarees—the Paithani. There is also a major dam at Paithan.
