Remove ads
Sangameshwar Taluka is a taluka in Ratnagiri subdivision of Ratnagiri district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The headquarters for the taluka is the town of Devrukh.[1] In Sangameshwar the two rivers Sonavi and Shastri flow together. The meaning of Sangama in Sanskrit (and most Indian languages) is "confluence," and so the name "Sangameshwar". It is historically important as the place where Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was captured by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.[2]
