ravitavad

Ravitavad is a village in the Tumkur district of the Indian state of Karnataka. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 1,115 meters above sea level and is located about 30 kilometers northeast of the town of ChikBallapur.

The village is known for its scenic natural surroundings, with the nearby Avanibele Shiva Temple being a popular tourist destination. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is believed to be one of the oldest in the region. The temple is surrounded by lush forests and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

Agriculture is the main occupation of the people living in Ravitavad. The village is primarily engaged in the cultivation of crops such as paddy, maize, and pulses. The region's fertile soil and favorable climate make it an ideal place for farming. The village also has a small number of educational institutions, including a government elementary school and a private pre-university college.

The village has a basic infrastructure, with electricity and water supply being available to the residents. However, the village lacks a reliable communication network, with mobile phone signals being patchy and unreliable. The village is connected to the nearby town of ChikBallapur through a network of rural roads, making it accessible by road.

Ravitavad continues to be a rural settlement unlike other industrilized cities, thus forms an eclectic piece of Indian village life. As such the economic and social determinants of the village prove that it remains as untouched as the early India.
