Things to do in Union Territory of Pondicherry, Union Territory of Pondicherry: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
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.

A great place to visit, even if you are not particularly religious. A temple that looks more like an Egyptian pyramid with a traditional Nataraja idol worshipped in the traditional Tamil way.
9. Panchavati Anjaneya

Reviewed By Gosthala - Bangalore District, India
Tourism in Pondicherry majorly focuses on the beach, park, Vinayaka temple, Ashram and Auroville. Another unique spot that goes unnoticed and unidentified in the itinerary of the tourists is the Panchavati Anjaneya Temple. The temple is around 15 km from the beach and 7 km from Auroville. This temple of Lord Hanuman deserves a better exposure than it has right now. The large and rare majestic idol of Hanuman leaves the visitors in awe. Highly recommended pilgrimage centre for those planning to visit Pondicherry.
