Lonar Sarovar

Lonar Lake, also known as Lonar crater, is a saline, soda lake, located at Lonar, 79 km from Buldhana city in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India. It is a notified National Geo-heritage Monument. Lonar Lake is in an impact crater created by a meteorite impact during the Pleistocene Epoch.^[5][6] It is one of only four known hyper-velocity impact craters in basaltic rock anywhere on Earth. The other three basaltic impact structures are in southern Brazil.^[7] 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.^[8]

Although the crater's age was previously estimated to be 52,000 ± 6,000 years,^[9] newer studies suggest an age of 576,000 ± 47,000 years.
