    IntroductionTo start with what could be better than the History of Maharashtra,

    which holds the roots of the culture, dignity and pride of this land.

    The name Maharashtra is believed to be originated from rathi,

    which means chariot driver. Maharashtra entered the recorded history

    in the 2nd century BC, with the construction of its first Buddhist caves.

    The name, Maharashtra first appeared in a 7th century in the account of

    a contemporary Chinese traveler, Huan Tsang. According to the recorded

    History, the first Hindu King ruled the state during 6th century, based in

    Badami.

    Shivaji Raje Bhosle, the founder of the Maratha Empire, did a

    lifelong struggle against the Mughals. By 1680, the year of Shivaji's

    death, nearly the whole of Deccan belonged to his empire. Shivaji was a

    great warrior and one of the finest rulers of India, so he holds the

    highest place in Maratha history.

    Shivaji was an able administrator and established a government that

    included such modern concepts as cabinet (Ashtapradhan mandal),

    foreign affairs (Dabir) and internal intelligence. Shivaji established an

    effective civil and military administration. He also built a powerful navy

    and erected new forts like Sindhudurg and strengthened old ones like

    Vijayadurg on the west coast. The Maratha navy held its own against the

    British, Portuguese and Dutch till Maratha internal conflict brought their

    downfall in 1756.

    Maharshtra played an important role in the freedom movement of

    India.

    The ultimatum to the British to "Quit India" was given in Mumbai,and culminated in the transfer of power and the independence of

    India in 1947.

    The more we talk about Maharashtra and its history would be less,the more you know the lesser you feel.

    Maharashtra is not all about Forts only. The Beaches, Caves,

    Pilgrimages, Hillstations, Sanctuaries and even the prominent Cities

    over here has a lot to say, show an share.

    The Konkan region is the best example of being a combination ofabove in some or the other way.

    The Konkan (Marathi/Konkani:;) also called the Konkan

    Coast or Karavali is a rugged section of the western coastline

    ofIndia from Raigad toMangalore. Thesapta-Konkan is a slightly larger

    region described in the Skanda-purana.

    Konkan is mainly popular for its scenic beauty during Monsoon and the

    beautiful beaches and sea-shore.

    Residents of Konkan and their descendants are called Konkanis.

    The word Konkan and in turn Konkaniis derivedfrom Kukaor Kukau.Different authorities explain etymologyof this word differently. Some include:

    Komeaning top of the mountain. Name of aboriginal mother goddess,which is

    sometimes sanskritised to mean goddess Renuka.

    Thus the nameKonkane,comes from the word Konka,whichmeans the people of Konkan.

    Some of the must-visit places in Konkan

    Konkan being on the coastal line, the number of beaches and ports you

    find will be numerous, beautiful, and unexplored. Below are some

    highlights of Konakna which one must visit, when visiting maharashtra.

    It being a religious state, youll find plenty of temples and shrines ofdeep religious importance.

    from Khandala, and is known as Shri Varad Vinayak, the bestower of

    blessings.

    The fort of Kulaba was built by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1652 tokeep a check on the activities of the foreign naval powers of English,

    Portuguese and the Siddhi of Janjira. It is a testimony to the foresight of

    the great maratha king. The Kulaba fort is still in good condition and one

    can go to visit the fort by walking across the seashore at low tide or by

    taking a buggy ride @ 25 / 30 Rs. Per person. However be sure to check

    the proper timings to visit the fort as it is dangerous to try to go to the

    fort at high tide. You get approximately 3 to 4 hours to see the fort and
