Pondicherry

Contents

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Pondicherry, now officially named Puducherry, is a union territory in Southern India. It consists of a number of pockets in three different states. All the territories of Pondicherry were under French occupation before they were peacefully handed over to India. Each pocket shares a mixed culture heritage, combining their South Indian roots with a French colonial past.

Cities

  • 1 Pondicherry pocket — a cluster of 11 enclaves in Tamil Nadu, containing the main town and capital of the territory
  • 3 Karaikal pocket — an enclave further south in Tamil Nadu
