Ratnagiri district, Administrative district in Konkan division, India
Located in western Maharashtra, Ratnagiri district stretches along the Arabian Sea coast and encompasses nine administrative talukas across a hilly terrain.
The district, established in 1832, transformed from ancient Buddhist rule through Muslim dynasties until becoming part of the Bombay Presidency in 1818.
Ratnagiri maintains strong ties to freedom fighters like Lokmanya Tilak and Vinayak Savarkar, while preserving traditional Maharashtrian customs and festivals.
The district connects to major cities through National Highway 66, the Konkan Railway, and multiple bus services operating from its transportation hubs.
Ratnagiri district produces Alphonso mangoes, recognized internationally for their quality, with extensive orchards spread throughout the coastal region.
