Aurangabad is correct.
The Ajanta Caves are about 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra (the city is now officially Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar).
They were carved between roughly the 2nd century BCE and the 5th century CE and are famous for their murals of the Jataka tales; they became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
Pune, Lucknow and Kochi are not linked with these caves; the nearby Ellora Caves are also in Aurangabad district.
