by

During our walks around Puducherry, also known as Pondicherry, we collected a few pictures which give a fair sense of what the city looks like. I was particulary fascinated with the lovely doors, and the walls that supported them.

  11. The bright yellow French quarters and their bougainvillea laden entrances. The splash of yellows and the influence of the French and Chettinad culture has come out so vibrantly in your pictures. 🙂
