Welcome to Dadra & Nagar Haveli Part 1

Dadra and Nagar Haveli, in Western India, was ruled by the Marathas till 1779. The 72 villages it comprises were offered to the Portuguese following a friendship treaty. Portuguese rule lasted until August 2, 1954, and traces of it can still be found.

In 1961, Dadra and Nagar Haveli became a part of India and since then, it has been administered as a Union Territory, with Silvassa as its' capital.

The Union Territory is dotted with ruins from its glorious past. Major attractions include the Church of Our Lady of Piety (built in 1889 and still standing strong) and the Bindrabin temple.
