Virar is one of the prominent cities in Maharashtra, and is part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region as well as Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation in Thane District. The name originated from the name of Goddess Eka-Viraa and one can still find the ruins of Eka-Vira Devi temple on the banks of Vaitarna River. The slow and gradual transformation of Virar into a cosmopolitan city has resulted in the migration of residents from Mumbai city to residential projects in Virar West.
