Aayimandapam
The magnificent Aayimandapam is a white monument and is elegantly set at the lush Government Park in the heart of the city. It was built in the 16th century in Greco-Roman architectural style during the reign of Napoleon III the emperor of France and this is the most recognizable monument of Pondicherry. It commemorates the 16th century courtesan named Aayi. This is a historical place. The Greeks are known for their minute architecture. They have put a lot of effort in the growth of the place. This is a great honour to Aayi.
Nice post. The dreamy picturesque location of Pondicherry also makes it a fine destination for film shoots. A favorite visiting spot is Sri Aurobindo Ashram, which attracts scores of Indian as well as foreign tourists. For accommodation, check out these hotels in Pondicherry.
