Sholapur - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | SHOLAPUR, a city and district of British India, in the Central division of Bombay. |
 | | Lying in a tract of uncertain rainfall, Sholapur is peculiarly liable to seasons of scarcity; much, however, has been done by the opening of canals and tanks, such as the Ekruk and Ashti tanks, to secure a better water-supply, the Ekruk tank near Sholapur city is the second largest irrigation work in the Deccan. |
 | | Sholapur passed from the Bahmani to the Bijapur kings and from them to the Mahrattas. |
