The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Union Territory of Pondicherry, Union Territory of Pondicherry
A colonial touch blended with the robust Tamil culture, Pondicherry is just a two-hour picturesque drive away from Chennai. Visit here for the cobblestone cycling-friendly streets, the rich history of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and some of the best cafes in which to hang out. A place where lethargy is a virtue, enjoy the sun rise at the widely used beachfront. The same place converts into a local hangout at night when traffic is stopped and post-dinner walkers turn out for ice cream.

This is the place which lists down what all restorations have been done in and around Pondicherry. In a way it takes us back to olden times and shows what Pondicherry really was - a quiet sea side holiday town, long before the excellent connectivity with neighbouring cities transformed it into a weekend holiday destination. The place helps us connect the past of Pondicherry with the present.

Stayed at Kakinada for the road trip. Went to Rajiv Gandhi Beach at Yanam. It is a well maintained area. It has a mosque in the ship shaped structure. Shivling with two elephants looks Majestic. There is a church and on the shore side Jesus statue which is magnificient and below his feet in the cave like structure sculped are the events from Jesus life. Then there is Brarat Mata statue with Tricolour in Her hand and with the lion. Very big statue of Bharat mata never seen before. There are stone sculptures of Ahoka Pillar and vairous animals and other figurine, which enhance the beauty of the area. Scenic spot to see the majestic Godavari river flowing peacefully before merging into Bay of Bengal.

An old and famous Lord Siva Temple in Pondicherry. The Lord is worshipped in the form of Lingam. The paintings inside the temple is a treat. There is a pond on the back side of the temple. The other dieties include Vinayaka, Durga, Sani, Navagraha etc. Housed in a massive area, and near to Varadaraja Perumal Temple, it is a must worship place for those who are visiting Pondicherry.
