Mumbai is Maharashtra's capital and India's most dynamic, prosperous and westernized city. Mumbai has, in less than five hundred years since its "discovery" by the Portuguese, metamorphosed from an aboriginal fishing settlement into a sprawling megalopolis of thirteen million people. Mumbai alone generates 35% of GNP, its port handles half of the country's foreign trade, and its movie industry is the biggest in the world. In reality, it is a gateway to India. Marathi, Gujarati, Hindi and English languages are most commonly used.
170 km from Ratnagiri is the village of Velneshwar. It's adjoining beach is clean and natural and is lined with coconut trees. Swimming and other water sports are possible there as the beach is free from rocks. There is an old Shiva temple near Velneshwar which is frequently visited by pilgrims.
To the north of the Shastri river, lies the little village of Velneshwar. Its tranquil, coconut - fringed beach is perfect for swimming, or just lolling around. It also boasts of an ancient Shiva temple, which is an important pilgrimage site. The great Maha Shivratri fair, held in honour of Lord Shiva, that comes once a year in March, makes Velneshwar the cynosure of attention, throughout the country.
