Daman and Diu are situated on the borders of southern parts of Gujarat.
An Union Territory, Pani Kotha of Daman and Diu.It was a colony held by the Portuguese for a long period even after India got independence. Annexed in 1961.

In the year 1961, Diu and Daman were made integral parts of the country.
After Goa was given statehood in 1987, Diu and Daman were made a separate
Union Territory. Daman and Diu are administered by an Administrator.

Dadra Nagar Haveli is near Daman in South Gujarat. Was also a Portuguese territory.
The people of this place took over the administration under the system
of self government. It is under control of the Administrator.

Lush green forests, meandering rivers, large waterfronts, cascading waterfalls,
Gentle gurgle of streams, distant hills, a gorgeous kaleidoscope of flora and fauna,
That is the serene and sylvan land of Dadra and Nagar Haveli where nature is
at her best.

The two main dialects here are Gujarati and Hindi. It is a quiet magical land of
70 villages situated between Maharashtra and Gujarat. It has an area that is
confined to 200 square miles covered with tall trees and flowing rivers.
The hospitable and unselfish native tribals have their own customs, dances
and rituals which are quite fascinating.

The territory enjoys a very pleasant climate from November to March
which is the best time to visit this wonderful place. The summer temperature
does not go high due to its proximity to the sea, and the nights are pleasant.

Goa state.

Goa’s Colva beach, former Portuguese enclave is one of the country’s
Gems and has enjoyed a prominent place in the traveller’s lexicon for
many years. The main reason for this is its magnificent palm-fringed
beaches and renowned traveller’s scene.

It is a heady blend of serenity and excitement down a six mile coastline
studded with some of the world’s most beautiful beaches-Calangute, Colva,
Baga, Dona, Paula, Bogmalo.

Panaji and Vasco-da gama are important cities.

Earlier Panaji was the seat of a Viceroy of the Portuguese regime. His job was to buy
Opium from all over the country and ship it to China Macau

Goa is a full-fledged state of the Union of India..
