Gauri Ganapati and Magh Chaturthi are the most important events in the entire Konkan region.

But on the outskirts of devhare fish curry, rice and kokam kadhi are available.

The Konkan coast is rich in horticulture with delicious exotic fruits, particularly the Ratnagiri "Happoos" mangoes.

These are also turned into sweet preparations like Ambapoli and Phanaspoli (pancakes of dried mango and jackfruit respectively).

The coastal climate is mostly hot and humid but it is healthy and devoid of pollution.
