Nagar Haveli (Portuguese: Nagar-Aveli) is the larger pocket in the Indian Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. It is surrounded by the Indian states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. [1]
Silvassa, the capital of the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is located in Nagar Haveli pocket.
Silvassa has a large number of factories and industries providing significant government revenue, which allows the city to maintain a low level of taxation.
Silvassa is also considered to be the home of Warli culture. Warli is the language spoken by the Warli people which is basically a mixture of Marathi and Gujarati languages with a local twist.[citation needed]
Silvassa is famous for its natural beauty with number of beautiful gardens[citation needed]. Well known Hindi movie "Phool aur Kante" was shot here. The Lion Safari and Vasona Deer Park are new upcoming tourist attractions.
Other towns in Nagar Haveli are: Amli, Sili, Saili, Amal, Kanadi, Vasona, Velugam, Dolara, Sindavni.
There is a small enclave of Maghval belonging to Gujarat that is located within Nagar Haveli, just south of Silvassa. Pratah Varta is a Hindi Daily Newspaper published from Silvasa.
