Daman district

Daman district spans 72 square kilometers along the Arabian Sea coast, featuring beaches, forts, and waterfront promenades beside the Daman Ganga River.

The Portuguese established control of Daman in 1559, maintaining their presence until India incorporated the territory through military action in December 1961.

The district encompasses Hindu temples, Portuguese colonial structures, and the Swaminarayan Temple, reflecting centuries of religious and architectural developments.

The district connects to major Indian cities through National Highway 48, with Vapi Railway Station serving as the nearest rail connection 12 kilometers away.

Vanganga Lake Garden extends across 7.58 hectares within the district, providing recreational spaces surrounded by indigenous flora and water features.
