Ratnipora (Ratanpur), is a village in the Pulwama district of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, situated equally distant from three towns, Awantipora, Pulwama and Pampore. The name Ratnipora is a combination of two words, "Ratan" meaning jewel, and "Pur" meaning place.

Religious info[]

While there are five Jamia Masjids, there are more than 30 small Masjids and a Hindu temple. Ratnipora was also inhabited by thirty Hindu ( Kashmiri Pandit) households who lived in perfect harmony with their Muslim neighbours but had to leave their homes & hearths in the year 1990 due to disturbed situation in Kashmir valley.

Potamology[]

Ratnipora was inhabited on the banks of trout stream namely "Naalaye Laar" and there are four bridges connecting the two parts. To the Northwest flows a river called Romush coming from Pahoo while to the Southwest flows a stream namely "Bren Kuol" coming from Puchhal, and all the three streams meet Jehlum in southern outskirts of Ratnipora. Recently a railway halt station has been sanctioned to Ratnipora and its construction is under process.
