Pondicherry (Puducherry) - India

The most famous of France's four trading posts in India was, until recently, a sleepy backwater with little evidence of its former status. The opening of a new coastal highway has new reduced the bus journey from Chennai to less than 4 hours and, inevitably, the number of visitors is growing.
Established in the early 18th century and with short interludes of Dutch and British control, it finally entered independent India in 1954. It still has some ornate Catholic churches. It has a grid layout, split north-south by a canal that once divided the French quater, from the Indian quater inland.
Goubert Salai is the main beach promenade, dominated at its northern end by a gigantic statue of Gandhiji (Father of Nation). Some of other tourist spots in Pondicherry are Auroville, Museum, Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
Auroville is the one of the fascinating tourist spot and its 6 kms far away from Pondicherry. Followers are international, with a high proportion of Indians, Americans, Europeans, Russians, and Japanese. Auroville Products, such as fine paper and silk, are sold all over India.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram is located in rue de la Marine, nearby Gandhi beach. Its a memorial place of Swamy Aravinder. Its open daily morning 8-12, and afternoon 2-6, admission is free.
Pondicherry Museum with artifacts from Pondicherry's original prehistoric settlement and Pallava, Chola and Vijayanagar sculptures, alongside French bourgeois furniture and other items.

  3. The city developed and flourished during the regime of Qutub Shahis and many forts, buildings and monuments were built. Even after gaining independence in 1947, the Nizam of Hyderabad wanted to remain independent as a monarch ruler or the part of British Empire. But on September 16, 1948, the Indian Army intruded the Hyderabad state and forced the Nizam to surrender. Later on the Hyderabad was included as a state into the Indian Union.
