Daman, Administrative division on the western coast, India
The district of Daman stretches along 72 square kilometers between Gujarat state and the Arabian Sea, divided by the Daman Ganga River into two sections.
Portuguese rule lasted in Daman from 1531 until December 1961, when India integrated this territory through military action that resulted in casualties.
The district population includes 89 percent Hindu practitioners, 8 percent Muslim followers, and smaller groups of Christians, Buddhists, and Jains.
Travelers reach Daman through National Highway connections, with Vapi Railway Station located 12 kilometers from the center of the administrative region.
The Daman Ganga River separates the territory into Nani-Daman and Moti-Daman sections, with Nani being larger despite its name meaning small.
