Diu And Daman

Daman and Diu, situated on the west coast of India on the Arabian Sea are exotic locations blessed with sun, sand and sea and very easily accessible. They along with Goa were taken back from the Portuguese in 1961. For a time they were governed from Goa, but both now constitute a Union Territory that is governed by the Central Government from Delhi.

Known for their beaches and exotic liquors, these twin towns are a tourist's haven for escaping the cacophony of mundane life. Be it the rich historic past or the faint songs of the anglers, everything in Daman and Diu assist in creating a paradise for one in search of tranquility. The forts and churches of the past, and the pubs of today, combine to engender a strange ambience of nostalgia and experience.

Nani Daman - has some interesting sites like Fort of St. Jerome or Nani Daman Fort. The most conspicuous part of the fort is the giant gateway facing the river with a large statue of St. Jerome who was one of the most eminent father of the Catholic Church. The principal building inside the fort is the imposing church of Our Lady of the Sea. This Catholic Church is one of the ancient seats of office and has a fine altar with superb paneling. The ramparts are a good place from which to watch the fish market and small fishing fleet which anchors alongside. To the north is a Jain Temple whose inside walls are covered with glassed-over 18th century murals that depict the life of Mahavira, the founder of Jainism.

Beaches - The beaches of Daman are beautiful and largely unspoiled.
Devka Beach - located about 3km from Nani Daman has a long shoreline. There is an Amusement Park here containing landscaped walkways, fountains and children's playground.

Gangeshwar Temple - is situated 3km away from Diu town in Fudam village. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, there are five lingas here that are located in the midst of the rocks on the seashore, and are washed by the waves of the sea. It is believed that these lingas were established here by the five Pandava brothers of the Mahabharata during their exile.
