<br />
The village is a west coastal lowland and forms part of the Western Ghats. It is characterized by high temperatures throughout the year. The rainfall here is seasonal, but heavy and is about [http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/karnataka/UTTARA_KANNADA_BROCHURE.pdf 350] cm a year. Most of the rain is received in the period from June to November, mainly through South-west Monsoon. This suits paddy cultivation and is adequate for the growth of vegetation during the entire year. December to May is the dry months with very little rainfall which helps in Salt production. The "Naranapur" gazani is one of the famous gazani ([[Muscogee (Creek)|Creek]] land) for salt production.<br />
