Another one in the array
of tourist Places in Kolhapur is Rankala Lake that is a popular attraction of
the region. The lake was built by “Shri Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj’ - King of
Kolhapur and is a combination of Rajghat and Maraghat. It sprawls over an area
of 107 hectares and the views that it extends are just beyond one’s
imagination. The lake has an age-old history from old times and the locals
believe that it is not a natural lake but was built by the Maharaj. If you are
looking for a place where you can relax and soothe your soul then this is just
the right spot for you.
