lakhs was named after Princes Shrimant Shalini Raje of
Kolhapur. The Palace stands on the west bank of the
picturesque Rankala Lake (Circumferenc-2.5 miles) & is
surrounded by towering palm trees, lush greenery & lovely
gardens. The Palace is built of intricately carved black stone
and Italian marble Rich decorative wooden doorways fitted with
etched Belgium glass bearing the crest of the Maharaja of
Kolhapur, add to the regal grandeur. The majestic black stone
arches forming the verandah and the porch are breathtakingly
beautiful. The stained glass arches & the huge tower clock are
restored to their original beauty. On a moonlit night watching
the reflection of the Palace in the placid water of Rankala
from the Sandhyamath point is an enchanting experience.
