Diu & Daman
constitute a union territory of India,
with a rich heritage formed by the
mix of Gujarati and
Portuguese cultures. Where
azure seas meet parkling sands, blushing
sunsets embrace rosy dawns, the fields are lush and green,
and monuments white and pure,
reflecting the glory of the days of yore. The colours of Gujarat mix with the stark
white
traditions of Portuguese in these
peaceful islands of Diu &
Daman.
