Ancient Daman Before the Portuguese | Exploring Kharawad's Hidden History | Part-01

#AncientDaman #Kharawad #DamanHistory Step back in time as we explore Kharawad, one of the oldest and most fascinating neighbourhoods in Nani Daman, where history stretches back long before the Portuguese arrived in 1559. In this episode, I take you on a journey through the narrow lanes of Ancient Daman, uncovering the rich history of Kharawad, its earliest settlements, the maritime Kharwa community, the arrival of the African Sidis, and the historic Jumma Masjid, believed to have origins dating back to the Gujarat Sultanate. Along the way, we'll discover centuries-old architecture, hidden alleyways, beautifully carved wooden homes, and the living heritage that makes this part of Daman so unique. Did you know that Daman was once ruled by the Mauryas, Western Satraps, Maitrakas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Solankis, Vaghelas and the Gujarat Sultanate before the Portuguese established their famous fortifications? Join me as we uncover the forgotten story of Ancient Daman and reveal a side of this beautiful coastal town that many visitors never get to see.
