Roha (English: /ˈroʊə/) is a town and subdistrict/upazila/tehsil in the Raigad district of the Maharashtra state of India.
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, Kolkata, that the palkhi is given government salaami (21-gun salute) with full honours.
The road to the top is a popular route for morning and evening walks among residents of Roha.
This river originates at a small town called Bhira in the Indian State of Maharashtra, 150 km southeast of Mumbai.
The river is gaining popularity in recent times due to the rafting opportunities it provides during certain months at Kolad, a place on the National Highway no 17, about 10 km from Roha.
The great Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji is also believed to have reconstructed this fort.
The late '70s and early '80s saw a major influx of people related to the chemicals industry which gave a unique cosmopolitan nature to Roha which was till then only a farming and trading town.
