Maharashtra (/mɑːhəˈrɑːʃtrə/; Marathi: [məharaːʂʈrə] (About this sound listen), abbr. MH) is a state in the western region of India and is India's second-most populous state and third-largest state by area. Spread over 307,713 km2 (118,809 sq mi), it is bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west and the Indian states of Karnataka, Telangana, Goa, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and the Union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. It is also the world's second-most populous subnational entity. It has over 112 million inhabitants and its capital, Mumbai, has a population of approximately 18 million. Nagpur hosts the winter session of the state legislature.[9] Pune is its cultural capital.[10][11] Pune is known as "Oxford of the East" due to the presence of several well-known educational institutions.[12][13]
The Godavari and the Krishna are the two major rivers in the state. The Narmada and Tapti rivers flow near the border between Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Maharashtra is the third most urbanized state of India.[14][15] Prior to Indian independence, Maharashtra was chronologically ruled by the Satavahana dynasty, Kadambas, Rashtrakuta dynasty, Western Chalukyas, Deccan sultanates, Mughals and Marathas and the British. Ruins, monuments, tombs, forts and places of worship left by these rulers are dotted around the state. They include the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the Ajanta and Ellora caves. There are also numerous forts associated with the life of Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Maharashtra is the wealthiest state by all major economic parameters and also the most industrialized state in India. The state contributes about 25% of the country's industrial output and 23.2% of its GDP (2010–11).[16] The economy of Maharashtra is the largest state-economy in India with ₹27.96 lakh crore (US$410 billion) in gross domestic product and a per capita GDP of ₹180,000 (US$2,600).[2][3]
