Maharashtra is the administrative headquarters of Thane District. Thane is located to the North of Mumbai.
Although being a district position, the city has always been shadiwed by the reality of the metropolis just on its outskirts .
Spanned over an area of about 140 km², this city houses over 10 million people. A total of over 200 km of roads run through the city.
The city is split by Thane Creek, a stream of water from the Arabian Sea. The city is surrounded by lush and scenic hills, which add to its beauty and splendor. The Hill of Yeoor is considered to be the hill station for the Thaneyites. On the other side is the Parsik Hill.
Most of the people in Thane are Maharashtrians and Marathi is the most popularly spoken language in the city. In spite of a largest Maharashtrian culture, Thane, just like its neighbouring city Mumbai, boasts of a very vibrant cosmopolitan culture.
