Juwana, Administrative district in Pati, Indonesia
Juwana is an administrative district in Pati featuring numerous villages spread across flat alluvial terrain. The landscape is defined by low elevation and river systems that support agriculture and fishing.
The name Juwana comes from the Sanskrit word 'Jiwana' meaning soul, though alternative etymologies connect it to words referring to trees and forests. This linguistic origin reflects the region's deep historical ties to its natural setting.
Residents of Juwana earn their living through farming, fishing, and brass crafting, with metalwork production centered in Growonglor village. This craft tradition shapes daily life and the local economy.
