My name is Dharma Gadhiya, nice to e-meet you!My family is from Virpur and at an early age we moved to Ahmedabad where I wasbrought up and got my BSc in Sociology at the Ahmedabad University.

My second stage of life began in the UK where Ipursued further education and work. It was in London where I met my husband,who lived in Portugal, and I moved there soon after!

For the last 25 years, I have always beeninvolved in our local Indian community since my husbands family were the founding members of the samaj. I am often invited to workshops and events totalk to Portuguese people about our Indian culture, ranging from our deliciousgastronomy to our unique rituals!
