• New Palace Museum

Famously known as Maharaja’s Palace, the New Palace Museum is unquestionably an architectural marvel adorning various styles, including Rajasthani, Rajwada, and Gujarati. This magnificent palace, constructed in the 18th century with shining black polished stone, was earlier the home of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj. 

Also, situated on the ground floor of the Maharaja’s palace, the museum presents a peek into the lavish life of the royals of Kolhapur through its outstanding collection, which includes attire, jewellery, coins, spears, portraits and even stuffed animals like lion, tiger, deer, etc. Along with the gallery and exhibitory articles, the museum and darbar hall, with lobed angles, sculpted columns, and an extended throne, oozes grandeur.

As the name implies, the temple remains devoted to Lord Ganesha and has a remarkable architectural structure. None of this temple’s pillars or columns reinforces its roof, making it a mesmerising site. Both locals and tourists flock to this religious site to pay their homage to Lord Ganesh and take his blessings. Furthermore, the temple is located right in the centre of the marketplace and presents excellent eating and shopping options.

Also known as Khilna or Khelna, Vishalgad is a famous heritage spot at an altitude of around 3500 feet above sea level. This fort was originally constructed by Shilahara King Marsinh in the 10th century and was known as Khilgil. Over the years, the fort came under the reign of different kings before being captured from Adil Shah of Bijapur by Shivaji Maharaja in the 16th century. 

After its annexation, the fort was renamed Vishalgad, which implies the luxury fort in Marathi. Apart from its main entry, it is almost unimaginable to reach the fort as it is encompassed by mountainous topography and cliffs of the Sahyadri Range. Therefore, it might not be wrong to say that conquering this fort was a remarkable thing accomplished by Shivaji. Even in ruins, this ancient site of immense historical importance is worth visiting to get a sneak peek of ancient Maratha history.

Also, according to ancient folklore, during the invasion of the fort by Bijapur General Siddi Johar, Shivaji fled while Shiva Kashid battled disguised as Shivaji. Furthermore, this Indo-Islamic style fort fascinates you at first peek with its three giant gateways – Teen Darwaza – that reflect elaborate craftsmanship and magnificence.

Kolhapur never fails to welcome tourists with its delectable cuisines and snacks. In addition, Kolhapur’s royal significance is aptly reflected in the city being a Maratha princely state of British-ruled India to its connection with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and its lip-smacking cuisine, especially its red meat preparations. 

While Kolhapuri cuisine is generally considered to be excessively spicy, it is not as spicy as say. However, the cuisine here does have tangy and intense flavours due to the special Kolhapuri masala (spice mix), and home-grown lavangi Mirchi used.
