'''Sangameshwar Taluka''' is a [[taluka]] in [[Ratnagiri district#Divisions|Ratnagiri subdivision]] of [[Ratnagiri district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Maharashtra]]. The headquarters for the taluka is the town of [[Devrukh]].<ref>The headquarters was moved from the village of Sangameshwar to Devrukh in 1878.{{Cite web|title=Devrukh|publisher=Ratnagiri District|url=http://ratnagiri.nic.in/gazetter/gom/places_Devrukh.html}}</ref> In Sangameshwar the two rivers Sonavi and Shastri flow together. The meaning of Sangama in [[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]] (and most [[Languages of India|Indian languages]]) is "confluence," and so the name "Sangameshwar". It is historically important as the place where [[Sambhaji|Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj]], son of [[Shivaji|Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj]] was captured by the Mughal Emperor [[Aurangzeb]].<ref name="Mikaberidze2011">{{Cite book | author=Alexander Mikaberidze |author-link= Alexander Mikaberidze| title=Conflict and Conquest in the Islamic World: A Historical Encyclopedia | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jBBYD2J2oE4C&pg=PA609 | access-date=6 March 2012 | date=31 July 2011 | publisher=ABC-CLIO | isbn=978-1-59884-337-8 | page=609}}</ref>
