A journey to Dahanu, a small sleepy coastal town on the shores of Arabian Sea will take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city life in the arms of nature. Discover Dahanu with 'Tarpa Gholvad'! Located between majestic hills and vast expanses of the Arabian Sea, Dahanu lies only on three hours journey from Mumbai, Surat and Nashik. Well connected by Western Railway and National Highway No.8, Dahanu also has good road networks with public transport facilities joining distant places as far as Pune, Thane, Kolhapur, Shirdi and many other cities in Maharashtra. History : Dahanu's historical significance can be traced back to around 1500 AD. Dahanu finds place in the trade map of the east, prepared by Sir Hamilton during the beginning of the 18th century. Dahanu has also been described in 1882 under the title of “Places of Interest in Thane,” as a fort and a seaport. “Dahanuka” also occurs in one of the Nashik cave inscriptions. Geography : Dahanu, also the headquarters of Dahanu Taluka of Thane District lies in the Northern Konkan region of Maharashtra state. The taluka can be divided into two regions; east, i.e. the junglepatti, which is the forest-clad hilly tribal interior and the west, the bandarpatti (the sea-coast). Culture : Dahanu has a conglomeration of people from almost all walks of life. Dahanu also has many temples like the Mahalaksmi Temple, the Santoshi Mata Temple, the Sai-Baba Temple, the Hanuman Temple, etc. apart from Jain Temples and also has Mosques, Churches, a Gurudwara and a Fire-Temple. You will also find Warli places of worship. Dahanu, since ages has distinctly been identified with Warlis and Zoroastrians. The Warlis : The Warlis, an indigenous tribe, is often referred as the ‘King of the Jungle’, because of their legendary identification with forest. Their houses are made using ‘karvi’ or 'kasar' grass walls covered with a paste of red mud and cow-dung. The floor is too made of mud and cow-dung mixture. To protect the earthen wall coat from heavy rains, the thatched roof is four way sloping. Most of the Warlis work as farm labours for their livelihood and cultivate paddy during monsoons. Government support and contribution of various NGOs have given a lift to the Warli's standard of living and have created awareness about health and hygiene amongst them. The Warli Art has also gained world-wide reputation of late, with many local Warlis taking part in out-country exhibitions. Painted in white on a brown earthy surface with basic geometric figures viz. the square, the triangle and the circle, the Warli paintings depict their way of life, their rituals and customs. The Zoroastrians : Progressive in their attitude, the Zoroastrians (also known as Parsis), have played a key role in shaping Dahanu's destiny. These Iranian refugees had spend almost 12 years of their most trying moments in the caves of Bahrot Hill, for protecting their sacred fire. They tilled the soil Dahanu and turned this town green with vegetable, fruit and flower gardens. Their culture and cuisine have added a unique Persian flavour to the land. Economy : The social mosaic of Dahanu is dotted with agriculturists, artisans, potters, basket weavers, jewelry die-makers, salt manufacturers, balloon manufactures, toddy tappers and fisher folks. Dahanu is lined with fruit orchards and is distinctively famous for its Chikoo (Sapota/Sapodilla) fruit. Till date, the economy of Dahanu survives on its chikoo plantations. Chikoo finds its market all the way up to Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur and Pune with new areas being regularly tapped. Dahanu’s rich marine belt has vast wetlands. Fishing in these wetlands is an age-old occupation which sustains thousands of fishermen families. Yet another occupation which supports a sizable population of Dahanu is salt manufacturing in wet lands. Dahanu Taluka has one of the largest areas under forests in Thane district. Apart from firewood, this forest yields many a products like teak, ain, khair, hed, bibla, shisham, sawar, apta, kalamb, palas, karvi, bamboo, shikakai, mohuwa, bel, tad, chilhar, palm, charcoal, honey, gum etc. and has a recorded data of more than 100 varieties of trees & plants apart from shrubs, herbs, grass and medicinal plants as well as wild birds & wild animals. Outdoors : For the sport enthusiasts, Dahanu could be a within reach ideal camping destination. Trekking and Venturing out into the surrounding mountains of Bahrot (1,760 ft), Mahalaxmi (1,540 ft), Gambhirgad (2,270 ft) and Asherigad (1,680 ft) could prove a paradise for trekkers. Though there is no professional trekker's club here, it would not be difficult to find some one to accompany you, if you ask for!

Sightseeing Highlights: The only thing to do here is to visit the beach and enjoy the sea. The waves are calm and have no undercurrents. The beach is extremely broad during low tide and you can also go for long walks or play volleyball and football on the sands. Building sandcastles and collecting sea shells are another way of wiling away your time.  Other Activities: One can also visit Udwada, which is known as the 'Mecca of the Zoroastrians? where there is a large, beautiful temple that houses their sacred fire. But only Parsis are allowed to enter here. Shopping specialty are the chikoos when in season. Located in the Thane district, about 145 kms from Mumbai, is Dahanu. It is a quiet seaside town with a sprawling, uncluttered beach. The entire beach stretch is about 17 kms, lined with casuarinas trees. The Dahanu village is mainly a fishing community. The entire stretch also has fruit orchards and is famous for its chickoos. According to stories, this area was once a barren and isolated stretch, until the Iranis came here and inhabited it. Now it has many stately Parsi mansions and holiday homes.

Dahanu-Bordi Beach

Dahanu-Bordi Beach

Welcome to . . Bordi, Dist. Thane

If  there is a concentration of good beaches down the coast, there are also a few in the north towards Gujarat. Fringed with casuarinas, Bordi is a very safe beach where the water for half a kilometre does not rise above the waist. The entire stretch of 17 km from Dhanu to Bordi is scenic with a backdrop of orchards of various fruits, especially chikoos. 

Besides the MTDC resort, there are quite a few hotels near the beach and one can also get accommodation in spacious Parsee bungalows on the beach. An ideal place to unwind as there is nothing much by way of tourist attraction besides the sand and the sea.

'वारली' नाही जगली पाहिजे [ Sunday, March 04, 2007 05:52:31 pm]' कम् लति या सा कला' म्हणजे जी आनंद देते ती कला, अशी कलेची व्याख्या केली जाते. कला म्हणजे सौंदर्य, संस्कृती, राग, आनंद, लोभ, तिरस्कार, सुखदु:ख, वेदना या सर्व भावना कलेतून व्यक्त करता येतात. प्रत्येक कलेचा जन्म हा कोणत्या ना कोणत्या संस्कृतीतून होत असतो. अशीच ठाणे जिल्ह्याला परंपरेने लाभलेली आणि आजतागायत जतन केलेली कला म्हणजे 'वारली' चित्रकला होय. वारली चित्रकला ही ठाणे जिल्ह्यातील नव्हे तर जगातील सर्वात महत्त्वाची चित्रशैली आहे. संस्कृती, रूढी, परंपरा आणि कर्मकांड या माध्यमातूनच वारली मूलनिवासी चित्रशैली उदयास आली आहे. ही चित्रशैली टिकवणं एक साधनाच आहे. ज्या प्रमाणे सिंधू नदीच्या खोऱ्यातील संस्कृती ही अतिप्राचीन संस्कृती आहे. त्याचप्रमाणे वारली चित्रशैली ही संस्कृती मानली जाते. फार पूवीर्पासून सामूहिकरित्या राहिल्याने समूहशक्तीचे महान दर्शन या संस्कृतीतून दिसून येतं. उंबरगाव, डहाणू, तलासरी, जव्हार, पालघर, वाडा या तालुक्यातील दूरवरची गावं पाहता आजही परंपरागत निवारे दिसून येतात. अधिवासी म्हणजे मूलनिवासी, गाव-पाड्यातील बहुसंख्य लोक गटागटाने राहतात. त्यांच्या झोपड्यांची रचना पाहता आजही परंपरागत तिथे कमालीची स्वच्छता दिसून येते. बहुधा बरीच घरं, थोड्या उंचावर बांधलेली आढळतात. तर खिडक्या या काही कारव्या काढून तयार केलेले हवेचे झरोके, वर पळसाची पान पेंढा लाऊन छप्पर कयार करतात. या कुडामातीच्या घराच्या भिंतीवर आपल्याला वारली चित्रशैलीची विविध अंग दिसून येतात. प्रत्येक चित्रामध्ये विविध सण, उत्सव, सोहळा याचं चित्रण येतं. यातून त्यांची सांघिक भावना दिसून येते. प्रत्येक कला जन्माला येण्यास काही तरी कारण असतं. इजिप्शियन संस्कृतीत मरणोत्तर जीवनाला महत्त्व देऊन इथे कला जन्मास आली तर रोमन कला जीवन सुखकर होण्यासाठी जगासमोर आली तर वारली चित्रशैलीत या दोन्ही संस्कृतीचा मिलाप दिसून येतो. कारण वारली चित्रकला ही ऐहिक जिवनाचं आणि मरणोत्तर जीवनाचं संगम रूप आहे. वषोर्नुवषेर् चालत आलेली वारली चित्रशैली जपण्याचे प्रयत्न होत आहेत. अनेक आर्ट्स कॉलेजमध्ये या चित्रशैलीचा अभ्यासक्रमात समावेश केला आहे. श्रीपाद भोसले
