Округ Ратнапура
Ратнапура — это округ в провинции Сабарагамува, Шри-Ланка. Это один из 25 округов Шри-Ланки, административное деление второго уровня страны. Округ управляется секретариатом округа, который возглавляет секретарь округа (ранее называвшийся правительственным агентом), назначаемый центральным правительством Шри-Ланки.
Округ занимает площадь 3 275 км², население составляет 1 082 277 человек по данным переписи 2012 года. Город расположен в юго-западной части Шри-Ланки, в так называемой дождевой зоне. Город получает осадки в основном от юго-западных муссонов с мая по сентябрь. В остальные месяцы года также наблюдаются значительные осадки из-за конвективных дождей. Среднегодовое количество осадков составляет около 4 000–5 000 мм. Средняя температура варьируется от 24 до 35 °C, а уровень влажности высок. Город находится на высоте 21 м (69 футов) над уровнем моря.
Город расположен на реке Калу Ганга (Черная река) в юго-центральной Шри-Ланке, примерно в 101 км (63 миль) к юго-востоку от столицы страны, Коломбо. Ратнапура также пишется как Ратнапура. Название "Ратнапура" является санскритским словом, означающим "город драгоценных камней", от санскритских слов "пура" (город) и "ратна" (драгоценный камень). Многие из известных торговцев драгоценными камнями в Шри-Ланке работают в этом городе. Кроме добычи драгоценных камней, город известен производством риса и фруктов. Вокруг города находятся большие плантации чая и резины. Чай, выращиваемый в этом регионе, называется чаем низменных районов. Из Ратнапуры ведет маршрут на Сри Паду.
