Where is tumbbad village?

Tumbbad is a real village located in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, India. It lies in the Konkan region, near the western coast of India. The village became widely known after the 2018 Hindi horror-fantasy film Tumbbad, which was partly inspired by local folklore. Many viewers thought the village was fictional, but it does exist geographically.

Geographically, Tumbbad is situated in the Konkan belt, a region known for its lush greenery, heavy monsoon rains, and coastal culture. It is not a big or well-developed village but is marked on maps. Travelers visiting Ratnagiri can locate it, though it is not a major tourist destination.

I also had this same question after watching the movie! Actually, the Tumbbad village is not a real place. It is a fictional village created for the story.

But the shooting for the movie happened in a real location in Maharashtra. That old, scary house they show, the wada, is a real place. It is called Purandare Wada and it is in Saswad, a town near Pune. The movie team just made it look very ancient. So you can visit the shooting spot, but you will not find a village named Tumbbad on any map.

If you look at Google Maps, you’ll find Tumbbad village on the western side of Maharashtra, not far from the Arabian Sea. It’s one of many villages in the Ratnagiri district, which is known for Alphonso mangoes and scenic beaches. So yes, Tumbbad is real, and it’s in Maharashtra.

In short: Tumbbad is in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, part of India’s Konkan coastal belt. The film gave it worldwide recognition, but its actual geography is humble and rural.

The fame of Tumbbad comes not from its geography but from its mythology and the way it was depicted in cinema. However, the real village is just like many other small settlements in Ratnagiri, with farming communities, temples, and traditional Konkan-style houses. The film exaggerated its mysterious atmosphere, but the name originates from this real village.
