Geography & terrain

Murud lies in the Raigad district of Maharashtra, 160 km from Mumbai and 60 km from Alibaug — the beach town of the region, its Janjira fort, the sands and the palms set on the Konkan coast.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1567 island fort — the town of the Janjira fort of the Siddi rulers (the unconquered island fort of the sea), with the town's modern role as the beach weekend of the Konkan circuit and the home of the Janjira jetty and the Murud beach; the town's history of the Siddi navy and the Maratha attempts and the fishing life, gives Murud its fort-beach character.
