About Pondicherry

Pondicherry (Puducherry), a former French colonial territory, retains its European charm in the white-and-yellow buildings of the French Quarter along Rue de la Marine and Rue Dumas. The Sri Aurobindo Ashram and the experimental township of Auroville, dedicated to human unity, attract spiritual seekers from around the globe. Promenade Beach, Paradise Beach, and the town's distinctive Franco-Tamil cuisine make it one of South India's top tourist destinations.
