The amazing Lake of Lonar Crater
Our Guide Ramesh Rathor explains us about Lonar Crater Lake, a saline soda lake located at Lonar in Buldana district, Maharashtra, India.
The lake was initially believed to be of volcanic origin, but now it is recognized as an impact crater created by the hypervelocity impact of either a comet or a meteorite (about 2 million-ton).
This lake, which lies in a basalt impact structure, is both saline and alkaline (pH ~10.7).
Lake has a mean diameter of 1.2 kilometres (3,900 ft) and is about 137 metres (449 ft) below the crater rim. The meteor crater rim is about 1.8 kilometres (5,900 ft) in diameter.
The crater's age is usually estimated to be 52,000 ± 6,000 years (Pleistocene), although a recent study published in 2010 gives an age of 656,000 ± 81,000 years.
Lonar lake...An ancient mythological crater lake of India
The Lonar crater is the world's only salt water lake in basaltic rock, believed to have been caused by a meteorite hitting Earth around 52,000 years ago. It is surrounded by forests with a large variety of birds, particularly peacocks, owls, red-wattled lapwings and ducks.
Lonar has its own ecological system. As the sun sets, the entire lake appears differently. The lake water sweeps across the shore like sea water, and the birds, wolves, peacocks and other creatures start making their presence felt. It is a wonderful scene to watch the sun rising or setting below the lake walls. The lake has a remarkable presence of splinters of glass confirming the meteorite's impact, which caused the enormous temperature rise thereby turning the sand into glass.
Numerous temples surround the lake, around the rim of the crater and further down around the lake, most of which stand in ruins today, except for the temple of Daitya Sudan at the centre of the Lonar town, which was built in honour of Vishnu's victory over the giant Lonasur. It is a fine example of early Hindu architecture. Vishnumandir, Wagh Mahadev, Mora Mahadev, Munglyacha Mandir and Goddess Kamalaja Devia are the other temples found inside the crater.
The nearest train stations are Shegaon near Khamgaon and Malkapur near Bhusawal railway-junction, on the Mumbai-Bhusawal-Nagpur route of Central Railway of Indian Railways and is around 100 km from Lonar. Buses also run to Lonar from Nagpur, Akola, Buldhana, Malkapur and Jalna.
If travelling from Nagpur, one must take a bus till Mehkar near Washim and then head to Lonar. From Mumbai or Pune, the most convenient route is to first reach Aurangabad via bus (Mumbai and Pune) or train/flight (from Mumbai only) and then take a state transport bus to Lonar. From Pune, air-conditioned and regular buses run every hour from the Shivajinagar bus stand to Aurangabad.
Maharashtra Tourism runs a resort just 50 meters from the lake. This property is modern, well maintained and cheap. There also are several low cost and simple accommodations called lodges available in the town.
The food available in Lonar has influence from both Khandesh and Marathwada cuisines. It is unique and simple but spicy.

The Lonar Crater Lake
The Lonar Crater Lake in the Buldana district of Maharashtra, India, was created by meteor impact during the Pleistocene epoch. The water of the lake has supported an ecosystem of wide-ranging academic interest, and is locally believed to have medicinal properties.
Tourists every year fill the water from the lake in bottles and use it as bath water, trusting that it can resolve skin problems.
Temples Around The Lonar Crater Lake
Lonar is town in the Buldhana District of Maharashtra. Lonar’s main attraction is the lake and the ancient temples that surround it. Some of them were of Yadava times and Hemadpant style of Architecture. Most tourists come to nearby Aurangabad to visit the Ajanta and Ellora UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but never make it as far as Lonar. Lonar crater lake is an excellent place for archeological as well as astronomical adventure. The sheer joy of trekking through the lush jungle and stumbling upon centuries-old, abandoned temples around the Lonar lake that are now inhabited only by insects, monkeys and bats. This trek involves covering the 6 km perimeter of the lake and There are multiple starting points to the lake. The path vanishes at a few sections owing to dense forest area. Apart from Dhara Temple Complex, Kumareshwar Temple, Ramgaya Temple & Kamalaja Devi Temple, other temples (Yadnyawalkeshwar Temple/Shukracharya Vedhashala, Kapila Sangam Temple, Vishnu/Bageecha Temple, Shankar Ganesh Temple, Wagh Mahadeo Temple, Mor Mahadeo Temple, Amberkhana/Sun Temple, Mungala Mahadeo Temple & Chopda Mahadeo Temple) are dilapidated or partially submerged, but some contain beautifully carved door frames and pillars while in some the ceiling is decorated with cusped ornament. The most significant Daitya Sudan temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, sits in the town. Professor Sudhakar Bugdane (Author of The Book - Lonar Darshan) has given me all information about Temples around the Lonar lake and Daitya Sudan temple.

Lonar Lake, also known as Lonar crater, is a notified National Geo-heritage Monument,saline, soda lake, located at Lonar in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India.Lonar Lake was created by a meteor impact during the Pleistocene Epoch.It is one of the four known, hyper-velocity, impact craters in basaltic rock anywhere on Earth. The other three basaltic impact structures are in southern Brazil.Lonar Lake has a mean diameter of 1.2 kilometres (3,900 ft) and is about 137 metres (449 ft) below the crater rim. The meteor crater rim is about 1.8 kilometres (5,900 ft) in diameter.
It was identified in 1823 by a British officer named C.J.E. Alexander. Lonar Crater sits inside the Deccan Plateau—a massive plain of volcanic basalt rock created by eruptions some 65 million years ago. Its location in this basalt field suggested to some geologists that it was a volcanic crater. Today, however, Lonar Crater is understood to be the result of a meteorite impact that occurred between 35,000 and 50,000 years ago.[8] The water in the lake is both saline and alkaline.
