Present in Kolhapur are many of Maharashtra’s most well regarded spots. If anything, Kolhapur is the cradle of one of the country’s most loved gastronomical offerings, the Kolhapuri cuisine.
Of these, the Ambabai Temple is the superlative sight to see. Also called the Mahalakshmi Temple, this architectural marvel is unusually constructed to face westwards.
Half a kilometer away from the Mahalakshmi Temple is the humongous Rankala Lake. Originally the lake was an extensive mine of black stone, converted into a body of water by earthquakes.
By all means, any excited tourist may also proceed to Bavani Mandap, the Old Palace.
This magnificent structure was erected in the heyday of Shivaji Maharaj’s reign. And then the visual glory should not miss on the Shalini, although it is now a hotel. |
