Shalini Palace[1] ( Shaalini ) in the city of Kolhapur in the Indian state of Maharashtra was built in 1931–34 at a cost of Rs.
The Palace stands on the west bank of the picturesque Lake Rankala (which has a circumference of 2.5 miles (4.0 km)) and is surrounded by towering palm trees, lush greenery and lovely gardens.
The Palace is built of intricately carved black stone and Italian marble.
Rich decorative wooden doorways fitted with etched Belgian glass bearing the crest of the Maharaja of Kolhapur, add to the regal grandeur.
The stained glass windows and the huge tower clock are restored to their original beauty.
