Puducherry, formerly known as Pondicherry, is a Union Territory of India. It is located on the southeastern coast of the country, bordered by the state of Tamil Nadu. Puducherry is known for its unique blend of Indian and French cultural influences, a legacy of its colonial past, making it a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists.
The territory comprises four unconnected regions: Puducherry, Karaikal, Yanam, and Mahe. Each of these areas has its unique characteristics, with Puducherry featuring beautiful beaches, vibrant local markets, and quaint colonial architecture. The city's French Quarter, with its charming streets, colorful houses, and excellent cafes, remains a significant attraction.
Puducherry is also famous for its spiritual heritage, notably the Aurobindo Ashram, founded by Sri Aurobindo, which attracts seekers from all over the world. The serene atmosphere and beautiful gardens provide a tranquil environment for meditation and reflection, contributing to the destination's appeal as a spiritual retreat.
