'''''Raneache'' ''Zuem''''' ({{translation|Rane's Island}}) is a small island situated within the [[North Goa district]] of [[Goa]], a coastal state in India. It is in close proximity to the village of [[Revora]], with the two connected by a well-known [[tourist spot]] called Zuem Bridge (Island Bridge). This small island, located on the banks of the [[Chapora River]], is known for its compact size and is home to approximately 26 to 30 houses. Administratively, the island falls under the jurisdiction of the [[Nadora]] [[village panchayat]], which is part of the [[Bardez|Bardez Taluka]].

==History==
The [[Rane (clan)|Rane clan]] and other individuals settled in ''Raneache Zuem'' approximately 350 years ago, the island is known for its unique traditions, which are still observed today. One of these traditions is the celebration of the [[Ganesh Chaturthi]] festival, which has been a significant part of the inhabitants' lives for over three and a half centuries. The festival is known for its elaborate decorations called ''chitras'', which attract visitors from nearby regions such as [[Bardez]], [[Pernem]], [[Bicholim]], and neighboring villages in [[Maharashtra]].<ref name=":1" />

The local families have made concerted efforts to preserve this tradition since the time of [[Portuguese India|Portuguese rule]], and their houses are often referred to as "Wings of the freedom struggle of Goa," as stated by Raj Singh Rane, a member of the Rane family.<ref name=":1" />

==Characteristics==
The island is also known for its lush vegetation, primarily attributable to the extensive cultivation of [[areca nut]] trees. Additionally, the presence of the Rashtroli Temple suggests that the majority of inhabitants adhere to the [[Hinduism|Hindu faith]]. The prominent highlight of the island is an ancestral residence, dating back 350 years, which stands as the largest house and is owned by the local [[landlords]] known as ''bhatkars''. Notably, the island boasts several other ancestral houses from the [[Portuguese India|Portuguese era]], each exceeding 300 years in age, distinguished by their distinctive and intricately crafted wooden columns supporting the roof beams.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Gracias |first=Franky |title=Time stands still on Goa's Raneachem Zuem island |url=https://www.gomantaktimes.com/ampstories/web-stories/time-stands-still-on-goas-raneachem-zuem-island |access-date=2023-10-08 |website=Gomantak Times |language=en}}</ref>

==Festivals==
In the annual celebration of [[Ganesh Chaturthi]], the inhabitants of the island welcome visitors by inviting them into their homes. As part of this festive tradition, they showcase artistic tableaux known as ''chitras''. These captivating displays portray significant scenes from the Hindu religion and narratives related to [[Ganesha]]. Crafted with diverse materials such as clay, paper, wood, and cloth, these ''chitras'' exemplify the creativity and devotion of the island's residents.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Digital |first=G.
