“Ratnagiri”的意思、由来-百科全书

Ratnagiri

India

town, southwestern Maharashtra (Mahārāshtra) state, western India, on the Arabian Sea coast. The town became an administrative capital under the Bijapur rulers. In 1731 it came under the control of Satara kings, and in 1818 it was surrendered to the British. A fort, built during the Bijapur dynasty and strengthened in 1670 by the Maratha king Shivaji (Śivājī), is located on a headland near the harbour. The town has a marine biology research station and is one of the ports of the Konkan Coast. The town is a popular resort; it has a palace where Thibaw, the last king of Burma (now Myanmar), and, later, militant Hindu and Indian nationalist Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (Savarkar, Vinayak Damodar) were confined.

The surrounding area is bordered on the east by the Sahyadri Hills of the Western Ghats (Ghats). The hills receive heavy annual rainfall, which runs off in rapid streams that have dissected the landscape, creating infertile plateaus separated by fertile alluvial valleys. The main crops are rice and coconuts; cultivation of various fruits and cashew nuts was developed in the 1970s. Fishing is predominant in coastal areas, particularly at Ratnagiri town, and forestry yields quality teak. Iron ore and bauxite are mined; iron is exported through the port of Reddi. The region has become dependent for its nonagricultural needs on Mumbai (Bombay) to the north, which attracts much of Ratnagiri's working population. Pop. (2001) town, 70,383.
