What to do and see in Pondicherry, Union Territory of Pondicherry: The Best Museums

December 19, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Pondicherry’s bougainvilleas, crumbling cathedrals and leafy boulevards might occasionally make you wonder if you’re in the south of France instead of a former French colony. But it's also unmistakably Indian, with colorful festivals, the famous monument of Aayi Mandapam, and the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Quiet beaches stretch north and south from town, good for swimming and sunrise strolls.

I was fascinated at the precision and intricacy of the handicrafts made by local astisans, which were displayed at Tasmai. I purchased a few potteries and jewelleries at a subsidised price.

Nice collection of historic artifacts from French and Indian time periods. The Art gallery adjacent to the museum is also worth a visit.
