In some Marathi literary contexts, sharks are referred to as समुद्राचा राक्षस, which translates to 'monster of the sea'.
In coastal regions of Maharashtra, many species of sharks are actually categorized by their specific local names related to their shape or habitat, rather than the English loanword.
