Kolhapur district, Administrative district in Maharashtra, India
The Kolhapur district spans across southwestern Maharashtra with a varied landscape of hills, plains, and rivers including the Panchganga watercourse.
The district served as a central territory of the Maratha Empire, with its capital city Kolhapur maintaining strong connections to royal administration since ancient times.
The district maintains traditional crafts production, particularly the manufacturing of leather footwear known as Kolhapuri sandals, which represent regional artisanal skills.
