nginx - server from single directory for nested path

Question

I have set default root directory as $root to listen on port 80.

Now I want to serve from different directory (share1) if path is started with /user i.e. /user , /user/xyz , /user/abc all should be serve from share1 directory..

map $http_user_agent $root {
    "~*android" /home/vishant/devcenter/wava-v1.1/android;
    "~iPhone" /home/vishant/devcenter/wava-v1.1/ios;
    default  /home/vishant/devcenter/wava-v1.1/ios;
}

server {
    listen 80;

    root $root;
    index index.html;

    location /user {
           alias /home/vishant/devcenter/share1;
    }
}

In short i want something like below..though it's not correct...

location /user/* {
    alias /home/vishant/devcenter/share1;
}

I want all the request starting with /user (/user/abc , /user/xyz) should hit the index.html file.

To make it clear and working you can divide main / and /user root.

map $http_user_agent $root {
    "~*android" /home/vishant/devcenter/wava-v1.1/android;
    "~iPhone" /home/vishant/devcenter/wava-v1.1/ios;
    default  /home/vishant/devcenter/wava-v1.1/ios;
}

server {
    listen 80;

    location / {
        root $root;
        index index.html;
    }

    location /user {
        alias /home/vishant/devcenter/share1;

        rewrite ^(.*)$ /user/index.html last;
    }
}

It should match everything starting with /user and alias to specified path.
