Mamta Gawade

"A structural temple along the Bay of Bengal with the entrance from the western side away from the sea. Recent excavations have revealed new structures here."

"Five monolithic pyramidal structures named after the Pandavas. An interesting aspect of the rathas, each of these is carved from one single large piece of stone."

"This is an elegant place to watch which a well established sea port was during the 7th and 10th centuries of the Pallava dynasty."

"The sand is pristine and the water, clean and clear. It's and ideal place for sun bathing and beach sports. The beach can only be accessed by boat."

"The 1.5km long promenade running along the beach is the pride of Pondicherry. There one can relax or take a stroll at any time of the day."

"This temple is more than 300 years old and is dedicated to Ganesha. It has a golden spire. The walls portray forty different forms of Ganesha."
