This is how the
Malvan name happens to be. Some people say that here salt was produced
in large quantity. Salt producers use term Lavan & term Mahalavan
is a place where you get more salt. Hence the name Malvan. Some
say it is because of largely planted coconut trees. Hence the name
derived from MAD – BAN. Mad(coconut tree) & Ban (Garden). How thename
has derived dosent matter, but today Malvan is a Sweet Heart of
Sindhudurg & a very popular tourist destination. |
