==Geography==<br />
Bodni is located on the northern tip of [[Alibag]] district of Maharashtra on the west coast of India. It is flanked to the east by the Mothebal Mangrove Forest and to the west by [[Rewas]]. It is administratively a part of the Rewas-Bodni town.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Diddee|first1=Jaymala|title=Geography of Maharashtra|date=1 Jan 2002|publisher=Rawat Publications|location=Jaipur, India|isbn=8170337461|edition=1st}}<!--|accessdate=21 April 2015--></ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The history of Bodni is connected to the 1947 sinking of the ferry ''[[1947 Ramdas ship disaster|Ramdas]]''. Some of the survivors of this incident swam across and reached the northern coast of Raigad near Rewas and settled here. They took up the profession of fishing, built houses and the settlement was subsequently called Bodni.<ref>{{cite book|title=Interviews with survivors: "Ramdas Botichya Jalasamadhichi Samay Hakikat" (Marathi)|date=1950|location=Mumbai}}</ref><br />
