A visit to the picture perfect union territory provides tourists, erudite scholars and savant researchers with an insight of the quintessential tribal legacy of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

The Tribal Museum housed in the union territory's capital, Silvassa showcases a priceless collection of rare treasures. Archetypal tribal artifacts that the people use for domestic or occupational purposes or even their hunting and fishing gear and crude agricultural tools all find pride of place behind the museum's glass cases.

Life size models stand on display to portray the tribal way of life. These models and mannequins proudly display the colorful apparels of the tribal people as well as their ornate chunky jewelery and other trinkets.
