Lonar Crater Lake is a lagoon lake in Buldhana district of Maharashtra state.

There are some temples situated which are made around 1250 years ago.
Among them, 15 temples are in reversal.
It is believed that the lonar lake is formatted about 52,000 ± 6,000 years ago.
But by a research paper published in 2010, we came to know that the age of the lake is approximately 570,000 ± 47,000 years.
The lake is situated on the planet’s just high speed sway shaped in basaltic stone.
According to researchers, the pit was framed after a comet or a space rock hit the region at a speed of 90000 km for each hour.
It is found 370kms/9 hours east of Mumbai.
The lake’s mean measurement is around 3900 ft or 1.2 km, and the distance across of the crater on which the lake sits is 1.8 km.
The carter on which the lake sits is oval fit as a fiddle demonstrating that the comet or space rock hit the spot at an edge of 35 to 40 degrees.
You won’t locate any sort of vegetation in the mud belt, which is because of the soluble substance of the region.
If you go toward the southern finish of the lake, there is a sweet water well. At that point there are two streams that resemble water hotspot for the lake as these streams stream go straight into the lake.
The biological system of the lake is surprising that there are two unmistakable water districts in the lake that don’t blend in with one another.
The external area of the lake is unbiased locale that has a pH level of 7.
The lake’s internal locale is the antacid part that has a pH level of 11. Both the districts are novel and houses differing widely varied vegetation.
The most unmistakable reptiles found in the Lonar Crater Lake are the screen reptiles.
Another component of this lake is the non-cooperative nitrogen fixing microorganisms, for example, Klebsiella sp. Slackia sp. Paracoccus sp. Actinopolyspora sp., and Halomonas sp.
According to contemplates, it has been uncovered that every one of these organisms can live just in basic conditions and that too with a pH level of 11.
