Ramanagara district

Ramanagara is an administrative district in southwestern Karnataka that spans hilly terrain, valleys, and plains. The landscape is defined by prominent granite outcrops that shape the geography and give the region its distinctive character.

The district was formed in 2007 as a separate administrative unit, carved out from the larger Bangalore Rural area. This reorganization brought together five taluks under a unified district administration.

Kannada is the language you hear spoken daily across the district, shaping how locals interact and communicate. The region maintains strong traditions through its agricultural practices and local craftsmanship.

The district is well-connected by rail and road networks, situated about 50 kilometers southwest of Bangalore. This accessible location makes it straightforward to reach from the city.

The region contains some of Earth's oldest granite formations, particularly the Closepet granites that run along a north-south belt. These ancient geological features make it a notable location for those interested in natural geology.
