KOLHAPUR TOURISM
Kolhapur stands on the banks of Panchganga river and is the home to the famous Shri Mahalakshmi Temple. Situated some 220 km from Pune, the cultural capital of Maharashtra, Kolhapur is famous for its unique jewelry design and for Kolhapuri chappals that are popular for their extremely stiff soles.
According to Hindu mythological belief, Goddess Mahalaxmi started residing in Kolhapur after a tiff with her husband Lord Vishnu. Tirupati Balaji and Kolhapur Mahalaxmi are believed to be tied in matrimony. Kolhapur is mentioned in the Bhagvadgita. According to legend, Amoghavarsha, the then king of the region had offered his fingers as sacrifice to Goddess Mahalakshmi for bringing relief to his people from a catastrophe.

The Maharajas of Kolhapur share common ancestry with the erstwhile royal house of Satara. Satara and Kolhapur came into being in 1707, following a succession dispute. When Shahu, the son of Sambhaji who was taken prisoner by the Mughals, was released, Tara Bai (widow of Rajaram, younger son of Shivaji Maharaj) refused to accept him and proclaimed her son Shivaji I, as king. Two separate principalities become an established fact by 1710. While Shahu established himself at Satara, Tarabai set up her capital at Kolhapur.
