The map
About this Lonar map poster
Lonar lies in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra, on the Deccan Plateau. Its defining feature is the crater just beside the town: a nearly circular depression roughly 1.8 kilometres across, formed by a meteorite impact into the basalt rock of the Deccan Traps. At the bottom sits a saline, alkaline lake, and the round outline makes Lonar instantly recognisable on any map.
The crater is considered one of the best preserved impact structures in basalt anywhere on Earth, and it has long attracted geologists and astronomers. In 2020 the lake was designated a Ramsar wetland of international importance, and the same year it drew attention when its water briefly turned pink, a change attributed to microorganisms in the salty water.
Old temples stand on the crater slopes and in the town, including the Daitya Sudan temple. A Lonar map poster places the compact street pattern of the town beside the near-perfect circle of the lake, a pairing found almost nowhere else. It is a design that feels almost scientific in its clarity.

Crater rim
The raised rim and wooded slopes surround the lake in a ring, marking the edge of an impact structure formed in volcanic basalt.
Town beside the rim
Lonar's streets sit just outside the crater, their irregular pattern creating a strong contrast with the geometric circle of water next to them.

Why Lonar
A map that means something
Lonar is a meaningful choice for geologists, astronomy enthusiasts and science teachers, as well as for people from Vidarbha and Marathwada who know the crater from childhood trips. Few maps show such a clear trace of an event from space.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with the date of your visit, and edit the coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, and order a matte print, framed or unframed, from partners in more than 30 countries.
