Lonar Lake – A Unique Wonder in Maharashtra Lonar Lake, in Buldhana district, was formed about 52,000 years ago when a meteorite hit the Earth. It’s special because the water is both salty and alkaline, making it very rare. In 2020, the lake turned pink due to certain bacteria that produce red pigments.

Mythological Significance According to Hindu legends, the lake was formed when Lord Vishnu destroyed the demon Lonasura with his weapon. This makes the lake not just a natural wonder but also a sacred site.

Daitya Sudan Temple Close to the lake is the Daitya Sudan Temple, built in the 12th–13th century. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu’s victory over the demon, the temple is known for its black basalt stone carvings and rich Chalukya-style architecture.
