Divar Island
by Rosevan Menezes
The famous tree that is featured in so many movies filmed in Goa is situated in Divar island, A place where I was born.
Initially, there were three Communidades in Divar : Piedade, São Matias (now Malar), Goathias. The Piedade Communidade was later sub-divided into two, Goltim and Navelim.
According to legend, the original inhabitants of this island were people who once lived in Old Goa but had to desert during a disastrous pestilence that heavily decimated the population of Old Goa.
