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.

The district contains twelve administrative subdivisions called Tehsils, each managing local governance and maintaining records for their respective villages and communities.

The region produces specific spicy food preparations that incorporate a mixture of ground spices, creating dishes with intense flavors different from other Maharashtra areas.
