Union Territory Capitals: Identifying the Exception
The question requires us to identify which city among the given options is not a capital city of any Union Territory in India. Let's carefully examine each option provided.

To answer this correctly, we need to know the administrative status of each city listed:

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Daman | Daman is the capital of the Union Territory named Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. |
| 2 | Puducherry | Puducherry is the capital city of the Union Territory of Puducherry. |
| 3 | Aizawl | Aizawl is the capital city of Mizoram, which is a state in India, not a Union Territory. |

From the table above, it is clear that Daman, Puducherry, and Kavaratti are indeed capitals of Indian Union Territories. Aizawl, however, is the capital of Mizoram, which is a state.
