Argaon, or Argaum is a village in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra state in India. Ratnagiri is a coastal district on the Arabian Seafront. The landmass on the western part of Maharashtra along the Arabian Sea, sandwiched between the sea and a mountain range named Sahyadri, is known as Konkan. Argaon is situated in the foothills of the Sahyadri mountains.
With its evergreen vegetation and hilly landscape, it is pristine in the months of monsoon and after. Argaon has a small population because the majority of the people there have migrated to Mumbai, India's main economic center. However, due to attachment to their native place many return every summer and during the Ganapati & Shimga festivals.
