Mahalaxmi temple of Kolhapur city, is one of the famous temples in Maharashtra state. We went to the temple in the month of December 2019 at around 11.30 am where the crowd was descent. The murti of crowned goddess is made of gemstone and weighs about 40 kgs. The image of Mahalaxmi carved in black stone is 3 feet in height. Entire temple is still on old architecture of carving. There is famous Kirnotsav celebrations (Festival of sun rays) celebrated in the temple when the rays of the sun directly fall on the footsteps of murti at the time of sunset. One will feel blessed just by entering the temple as you will have positive vibes all around. Do give a visit.

Bhavani Mandap is a historical building situated near the famous Mahalaxmi Temple. It used to be a royal palace of the Maharaja of Kolhapur and later used to be a durbar of the Chhatrapati Maharaja. In era gone by, Bhavani Mandap used to house offices of various court officials and used to be the centre of many celebrations. Bhavani Mandap was the witness to the famous murder in the central courtyard. Bhavani Mandap has has a nostalgic charm to it and typical architecture of the British Raj bringing back memories of the rich princely state Kolhapur used to be. At Bhavani Mandap, we can find the life size statue of Kolhapur's most loved prince Shahu Maharaj. It is believed that there is an underground tunnel leading to Bhavani Mandap from Panhala,fort . It was built to allow an escape-route for warring Maratha soldiers
