Dadra and Nagar Haveli

Dadra and Nagar Haveli is a union territory wedged between the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. The two regions Dadra and Nagar Haveli lie on the West coast, at the mouth of the Daman Ganga River. Both are separated from each other by a few kilometers.

After prolonged skirmishes, the Maratha Government had assigned few villages to the Portuguese as compensation to ensure their friendship. Portuguese ruled this region till their liberation in 1954. After the liberation, Dadra and Nagar Haveli by people, between 1954-1961 the territory functioned almost independently as “Free Dadra and Nagar Haveli Administration”.
It was merged with Union of India in 1961. Since then it is administered as Union Territory to preserve its distinct rich culture and heritage.
