The Lonar Lake Impact Crater, located in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra, has been officially recognized as one of the world's most significant geological heritage sites. The crater, which was formed by a meteorite impact thousands of years ago, has been included in the Third 100 Geological Heritage Sites list by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).
This global recognition was made possible through a nomination spearheaded by the Geological Survey of India (GSI), which is headquartered in Kolkata.
