Roha () is a small city and taluka in the Raigad district of the Maharashtra state of India. It is located 120 km southeast of Mumbai. It is the starting point of kokan railways and end point of central railways(Mumbai). Many chemical industries have opened up their manufacturing bases here. Roha is located between the banks of the Kundalika River and the hills of Kalasgiri. It has a population of over 1,40,000. Roha is connected to Mumbai by Panvel-Roha railway line. Roha is also the northern end of the Konkan Railway. Roha is off of the Mumbai Goa Highway, via the Kolad road. ==Tourism== Roha is very well known for its Dhavir Temple. Dhavir Maharaj is the prime deity of Roha. Every year the town celebrates Navaratri by holding a ten-day festival called ''Dasra'' at the Dhavir Temple. On the day following ''Dasra'', a ''palkhi'' (sedan chair) carrying the statute of Dhavir Maharaj is taken through the town where it visits each house for the ''aarti''. It is presumably, only after Durga, Kokatta, that the palkhi is given government salaami (21 gun salute) with full honours. Hanuman Tekadi:- A beautiful temple of Lord Hanuman is built on a hill (Tekadi). At its top, the full city of Roha can be seen, as well as panoramic views of the city and the sunset. The road to the top is a popular route for morning and evening walks among residents of Roha. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
