Kohlapur is encircled in all directions by rivers including Krishna Ganiki in the east, Shiva and Mayuri in the west, Veda and Yaksha in the south, Krishna and Warana in the north.
It was the seat of the British Residency for the Deccan States and the capital of the former Princely state- the Kohlapur branch of the Chhatrapatis. Kohlapur was an early center of Buddhism.

However, the places of religious importance include Narsinh Wadi, Wadi Ratnagiri, and Bahubali town. Kohlapur being the border of Karnataka state, many people speak Kannada language. Over the years, Kohlapur has turned to be a cosmopolitan city with the assimilation of people of variety of ethnic groups.
