Maharashtra (/mɑːhəˈrɑːʃtrə/ [məharaːʂʈrə] ), is a state in the western region of India. It is a second-most populous state after Uttar Pradesh and third largest state by area in India. Maharashtra is the wealthiest state in India, contributing 15% of the country's industrial output and 13.3% of its GDP (2006–2007 figures).[1]
Maharashtra is bordered in the Arabian Sea to the west, Gujarat and the Union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli to the northwest, Madhya Pradesh to the north and northeast, Chhattisgarh to the east, Karnataka to the south, Telangana to the southeast and Goa to the southwest. The state covers an area of 307,731 km2 (118,816 sq mi) or 9.84% of the total geographical area of India. Mumbai, the capital city of the state, is India's largest city and the financial capital of the nation. Nagpur is the second capital of the state. Marathi is the state's official language.
Maharashtra is the world's second-most populous first-level administrative country sub-division. Were it a nation in its own right, Maharashtra would be the world's tenth-most populous state, followed by Mexico. There are 41,000 villages and 378 urban centres in Maharashtra.[citation needed]
