Redi is a quaint little coastal village that belongs to the district of Sindhudurg in Maharashtra. Originally known as Redipattanam, Redi is located very close to the shores of the majestic Arabian Sea and is dotted with plenty of cashew and coconut trees.

The Village belongs to the Vengurla Talkua and was a significant sea port during the earlier times. Redi has now evolved into a tourist hub because of its long virgin and unspoiled beaches alongside archaic historic monuments like the Yashwantgad Fort. Redi is merely 566 km away from Mumbai and can be easily reached.

The Ganapati temple of Redi is located approximately 30 km from

Vengurla, in the small villiage of Redi. The town in which this temple is situated contains manganese mines and the Ganpati idol was found in one of the mines near Rewati port in 1976.[citation needed] The Ganpati idol is in a sitting position and approximately 15 meters in height. There is a small rocky beach behind the temple.
