Puducherry formerly known as Pondicherry, is a union territory in India. It was formed out of four exclaves of former French India, namely Pondichéry, Karikal (Karaikal), Mahé and Yanam. It is named after the largest district, Puducherry. Puducherry is the 29th most populous and the third most densely populated of the states and union territories of India. 2. Situated on the south-east coast of India, Puducherry aka Pondicherry offers glimpse of France in India. Close to Promenade Beach is a White Town area, which is built in such a way that it resembles cities of France. In 1673, French people started migrating to Puducherry which today is a Union Territory. In order to feel home, they started to built houses following the French style of architecture. And before anyone realized, this region was filled with these organized French residences, which now is known as the Little France. 3. Pondicherry, officially known as Puducherry, is the capital and the most populous city of the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. We can best describe Pondicherry as a paradise on the earth having great picturesque views and also serene atmosphere. Pondicherry is not only sprinkled with numerous attractions but also blessed with natural beauty in abundance. 4. Sri Aurobindo's spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa, also known as the Mother, founded Auroville in 1968. Her aim was to create a town where people of all nationalities could live in peace and progressive harmony, and true to her ideal, the place is a study of calm and composed. Several workshops and therapies in and around the area help people get over their personal demons and be at peace once again. Even for the casual visitor, Auroville is an enchanting place. 5. There are 32 churches in Pondicherry such as Church of Our Lady of Angels, Sacred Heart Church, Dupleix Church, Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Conception Cathedral to take the name of few of the biggest and oldest ones. Their beauty lies in the French architecture and the solace they hold within. Irrespective of your religion, just a few minutes of silence and reflection within these churches can put your mind at peace. 6. Arikamedu is an archaeological site in Southern India, in Kakkayanthope, Ariyankuppam Commune, Puducherry. Digs have found Amphorae, Roman lamps, glassware, glass and stone beads, and gems at the site. Based on these excavations, it was concluded that the Arikamedu was a Greek trading post that traded with Rome. 7. One of the best things about Pondicherry is the beaches. There are 4 main beaches: Promenade beach, Paradise beach, Auroville beach and Serenity beach. They are never too crowded and, compared to other beaches in India, the beaches in Pondicherry are pretty clean and well kept. And there is nothing quite as refreshing as sitting by a beautiful beach!
