Abstract :

The origin of the word 'Kolhapur' is controversial. Another explanation suits the topography of the place, according to which, the words 'Kolia' and 'Kholla' have been derived from an original Kannada word meaning 'low ground'. Kholla also means a river valley and therefore 'Kollapur' means a town situated in the valley of a river [13]; while the word 'Koll' means "a low lying trough between mountain ranges, a town situated in such a place being named as 'Kollapur', later transformed into Marathi form 'Kolhapur' [14].
