Pondicherry is a blend of
spiritual institution, French colonial heritages, Tamil culture and a
cosmopolitan form of life. The city is full of French colonial
buildings, clean and wide streets and the sprawling premises of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. This territory is important from spiritual as well as from cultural point of view.
Pondicherry’s beauty lies in its un-spoilt beaches and well laid
out parks and gardens. The city’s temples and churches and imposing
monuments of the colonial era are some of the worth visiting sites in
this small port city.
But today’s attraction of Pondy is due to the presence of Auroville, the city of Dawn. It is a perfect place to search for the Divine. The meditation experience in this spherical house (Matri Mandir) is really exciting.
