Right beside the sea, the beautiful Pondicherry – the French capital of India, offers some spectacular tourist attractions. Known for its urban architecture style, Pondicherry is one of the most popular tourist destinations in South India.
White Town is the former French residential area in Pondicherry. Wide streets, old colonial buildings, French street names – everything is carrying an essence of the century-old history of the town. Those old residential houses and mansions are now converted into public offices, libraries, heritage hotels, vintage cafes, upscale shops, and boutiques. The glitter and glamour of the colonial era are long gone, but history is still preserved aesthetically. This is a collection of my best photos from the photo walk in White Town in Pondicherry.
The cheery bougainvilleas and brightly colored walls accompanying the brick-paved lanes of Pondy easily catch the imagination and brings an otherworldly feel. While the rest of the country is struggling to move ahead of time, this quaint little town is rather happy with its colonial ambiance and the laid-back lifestyle. It is a photographer's paradise..
