Agardanda
Agardanda is a village in Murud Janjira Taluka, Raigad district, Maharashtra, India. Located 9 kilometers south of Murud, Agardanda is getting prominence because of the ongoing construction of Dighi port, which is just across the narrow creek. It is also an important transit hub to get across to Dighi, through ferries plying throughout the day at regular intervals.

gollark: It would probably be necessary to fix the thing where it sometimes teleports you into walls, and you take damage until you somehow fall out.
gollark: I like the Ender IO (Minecraft mod) staff of traveling (short-range personal teleporter), so either that or a really really good computer (for purposes).
gollark: It might be interesting to consider what the graph of the connections would look like. Depending on how far apart habitats are in the network, there could still be a lot of variation between them.
