Of Spirituality, Meditation, and Beaches
Pondicherry is described as tranquil, modern, and attractive, yet none of these descriptors do it credit. The town is tranquil and rich in culture and history. It is a union territory that was previously held by Dutch, French, and British rulers. It is also known as 'Puducherry.' However, it retains leanings toward French culture and popular influences - there is even a big French neighbourhood here, which is Pondicherry's most popular tourist destination.
Beach is approximately 12 kms from Pondicherry and is located on the right side of East Coast Road.
Located in a huge open area known as 'Peace,' is affectionately described as the 'soul of the city'.
Feel the strong French influence in Pondicherry's streets, with a dash of Tamil flavour thrown in.
