Kolhapur stands on the banks of the Panchganga river in the southern part of Maharashtra, surrounded by the Sahyadri ranges. Its royal past is still visible in the New Palace, built between 1877 and 1884, which now houses the Shree Chhatrapati Shahu Museum. The city has a strong identity of its own, built on wrestling, Kolhapuri chappals and a fiercely spiced local cuisine with dishes found nowhere else in the state. The Mahalaxmi temple, known locally as Ambabai, is counted among the Shakti Peethas and anchors the old city. Rankala Lake is the evening walking spot, with boating and street food along its edge.
Bhimashankar is a village deep in the Sahyadri range in Pune district, known for its temple of Shiva, which holds one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. The Bhima river, which is called the Chandrabhaga by the time it reaches Pandharpur, is said to rise here. The forest around it is protected as the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary, an evergreen tract spread across the Ambegaon and Khed talukas. Darshan at the Jyotirlinga is the main reason most people come, but the sanctuary deserves time too. It was created chiefly to protect the Indian giant squirrel, the shekru, Maharashtra's state animal, and a forest department survey estimated between about 1,300 and 1,700 of them, with more than 10,000 active nests.
