History
The history of Bodni is connected to the 1947 sinking of the ferry Ramdas. Some of the survivors of this incident swam across and reached the northern coast of Raigad near Rewas and settled here. They took up the profession of fishing, built houses and the settlement was subsequently called Bodni.
