While there are five Jamia Masjids, there are more than 50 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.

Ratnipora was inhabited on the banks of a trout stream (namely Naalaye Yar), and there are four bridges connecting the two halves. To the Northwest flows the Romush river coming from Pahoo while to the Southwest flows the Bren Kuol Stream coming from Puchhal, and all the three streams meet the Jhelum River in the southern outskirts of Ratnipora.
