The union territory has lush green forests covered
with tall trees, meandering rivers, large waterfronts,
cascading waterfalls, the gentle gurgle of streams,
the distant hills, and a gorgeous kaleidoscope of
flora and fauna. The serene and sylvan land of Dadra
and Nagar Haveli is Nature at her best. This
quiet magical land of 70 villages, sandwiched between
the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, near Daman,
was under the Portuguese, till it attained freedom
in 1954. The people took over the administration under
the system of self-government. The hospitable native
tribals have their own customs, dances and rituals,
which are quite fascinating.
