PONDICHERRY

 PONDICHERRY

   At my 12th std , My school had organised an one day tour to Pondycherry . We started our travel by bus  at 7.00 am and reached there at 10.00 am. We finished our breakfast in the bus itself then we and our other juniors started to walk on the roads of pondy. 

                    



THE PLACES WE HAD VISITED:

1.  Cafe des Arts

              More than just a cafe, this sunny yellow building takes up the whole corner of Surcouf Street and Suffren Street. It’s usually packed with weekend guests snapping photos for social media.  It’s a cute place for lunch , as well as one of the most iconic sights of pretty Pondi .

2. Sri Aurobindo Ashram

             Over 90 years old, this ashram is named after a well-known Indian philosopher and yogi, Sri Aurobindo. Today, around 2,000 locals use Sri Aurobindo Ashram to pray and meditate. Visiting is one of the most popular things to do in Pondicherry. It’s free and, although we wasn’t allowed to take photos inside, I can promise it’s very pretty and peaceful, but this one is just for day visits. Take 30 minutes to relax and let all that fast-paced travel stress go.

                              

                                     

3. Wander White Town (especially Rue Surcuof)

              White Town is the area close to the sea, once known as the French Quarter. This is the area that French colonialists would have lived and socialised. Cobbled streets, sunny yellow buildings and old-fashioned lampposts give it a very European feel, while charming cafes and restaurants serve a mix of South Indian and French-influenced food. 

                           

                          


Pondy is the perfect place to unwind. You can relax in cute cafes, drink good coffee and simply relax a little. And it is the best feel to roam the pondi roads with your friends with non stop fun and enjoyments.

  THANJAVUR TRIP:              On my 8th summer holiday, we went to Thanjavur for a vacation. There I visited many famous places and most importantly I get a chance to visit the famous temple in Tamilnadu known as Peruvudaiyar temple which is now known as Thanjavur big temple.                And then I visited few more places in Thanjavur such as Saraswathi Mahal library, Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal, Thanjavur Maratha palace, Vennar river.                Now let us see about my vacation enjoyment in these places. Thanjavur big temple:                 The Thanjavur big temple is also known as Thanjavur Brihadeswarar temple and Thanjai Peruvudaiyar temple. It is one of the unsung world wonders with many unknown architectural secrets that still keeps the people excited after 1000 years.                              The most suprising factor that I saw in that place is "the shadow of the  kalasam of the Thanjavur temple will not fall on the ground.
