01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Sangli—601,214, Asia/Kolkata, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: city in Maharashtra, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Sangli is GeoNames ID 1257416. Its recorded administrative path is Sangli → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Sāngli occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2024-01-06; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Sangli ranks 929 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 85; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 502. Its 601,214 population value is 0.60 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.60 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Sangli sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Sangli's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Sangli's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1257416, the coordinate pair 16.8544 / 74.5642, country rank 85 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1266285 at 39.556 km bind Sangli to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Sangli's reference point is 16.8544° north and 74.5642° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Sangli's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Sangli's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Sangli's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Sangli, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
