DAMAN
Right in the south Gujarat, the 56sq km areas of Daman was, along with Diu, taken from the Portuguese at the same time as Goa. For a time, Daman and Diu were governed from Goa but both now constitute the Union Territory of Daman & Diu, which is governed from Delhi. Daman is a laid back little town with a somewhat tropical flavour, although its beaches are rather drab and dirty. Daman's main role now seems to be as a place to buy alcohol, since the surrounding state of Gujarat is completely `dry'. The streets of Daman are lined with bars selling beer, 'Finest scotch Whisky - Made in India' and various other spirits such as feni (distilled from fermented cashew nuts or coconuts). You are forbidden to take alcohol out of Daman into the dry state of Gujarat unless you obtain a permit. There are police checks as you leave.Daman and alcohol without a permit will be confiscated.The Portuguese seized Daman in 1531 and were officially ceded the region by Bahadur Shah, the last major Gujarati sultan, in l559. There is still a lingering Portuguese flavour to the town, with its fine old forts and a number of churches but it's definitely not a smaller version of Goa. The town is divided by the Daman Ganga River. The northern section is known as Nani Daman, or Little Daman, and contains the hotels, restaurants, bars and so on. In the southern part, known as Moti Daman, or Big Daman, government buildings and churches are enclosed within an imposing wall
