Mangaon is a Village and tehsil (council) in the Konkan Division, India. It is located in the Raigad district, from Alibaug headquarters, and from the capital city of Bombay (Mumbai). The area is located towards the Panjim side of Goa.
==History== Mangaon has been identified with the site of the ancient village of Kothuraka, mentioned in the so-called Kothuraka grant of the 5th-century Vakataka ruler Pravarasena II. The same inscription also mentions a place called Maṇḍuki-grāma, which has been identified with the nearby village of Mandgaon, 3 km north of Mangaon.
