Sholapur

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Sholapur is GeoNames ID 1256436. Its recorded administrative path is Solapur → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place.

Sholapur 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.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Sholapur ranks 555 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 56; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 323.

Sholapur's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half 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 1256436, the coordinate pair 17.6715 / 75.9104, country rank 56 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1270752 at 105.166 km bind Sholapur to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Sholapur's reference point is 17.6715° north and 75.9104° 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. Sholapur's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Sholapur's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Sholapur's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Sholapur, 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.
