萨巴拉加穆瓦省

萨巴拉加穆瓦是斯里兰卡的又一个省份，位于该岛的中南部地区，由两个行政区组成：拉特纳普拉 和 凯格勒。萨巴拉加穆瓦因其曾经的 原住民 居民——萨巴拉人而得名。“萨巴拉”是一个源自印度的术语，用于指代狩猎采集部落，这一术语在古代 斯里兰卡 中很少使用。该省以宝石产业闻名，尤其是 拉特纳普拉 区。除 宝石 产业外，该省还以水稻和水果 种植 以及橡胶种植园而著称。省内还有诸多旅游景点，如 辛哈拉加雨林保护区、乌达瓦拉维国家公园、基图尔加拉 以及 亚当峰 等。

该省的首府是 拉特纳普拉，其名称意为“宝石之城”，这座城市因斯里兰卡历史悠久的宝石产业而最为著名。城中大多数居民依赖宝石贸易谋生。周边地区常见宝石采坑。大多数大型宝石商人都在拉特纳普拉开展业务，城内也有相当数量的外国宝石商人从事贸易活动。由于宝石开采是一种更为高效的收入来源，许多农民放弃了水稻种植而转向宝石开采，因此拉特纳普拉的水稻种植目前正面临不确定的未来。此外，芒果、木瓜等多种美味水果以及蔬菜也作为商品作物进行种植。

拉特纳普拉位于 A4 公路沿线，该公路将首都 科伦坡 与 东部省 的卡尔穆奈连接起来。另一条 A8 公路则将该城与斯里兰卡 西海岸 的 帕纳杜拉 相连。拉特纳普拉具有热带雨林 气候。该市位于斯里兰卡西南部，即所谓的“湿润区”。该城主要在 5月 至 9月 期间受西南季风影响降雨充沛，且经常发生洪涝。
