Kerwad (H) is a village in Uttara Kannada in the southwestern India state of Karnataka.[1][2] The village is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) by road north of the town of Haliyal.


History

Kerwad mango is very famous across the district, and the majority of mangoes sold in nearby markets like Haliyal, Dandeli, Dharwad, and Hubli come from there. There are a substantial number of Chardo families in this area, as they migrated due to the persecution by the Portuguese in Goa.[citation needed]

There is one of the famous deity God Siddappa around 3 KM from Kerwad towards East and the deity is situated below a big old tree.

Language

Kannada is the most spoken language here along with Konkani. Konkani is spoken as it is close to Goa, and many Goans settled in Kerwad when they migrated from Goa.
