PONDICHERRY
Pondicherry, 161 kilometres south of Madras, is an amalgamation of all the former French settlements, which were handed over to the Indian Government in November, 1954.
The French influence is still noticeable albeit superficial. The main attraction of the town is the Sri Aurobindo Ashram founded in 1926 and based on the teachings of philosopher poet Aurobindo Ghose and also known as the Centre of Intergral Yoga. Outside the town, Auroville, conceived as a tribute to Sri Aurobindo, is an entirely new concept in education and urban living. International community and educational centre with a fascinating building designed by the French architect Roger Anger in the International modern style. MERCURY TRAVELS LIMITED
