The Kharvi are a traditional fishing community found along the western coastal regions of India, particularly in the states of Goa, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. The community is historically associated with marine fishing and related occupations along the Konkan coast.
Kharvi communities have traditionally depended on the Arabian Sea for their livelihood. Fishing, fish trading, and other activities connected with the marine economy have long been central to their way of life.
