Images of Pondicherry



















So the 4 of us went to Pondicherry - because I wanted to go to a tranquil and peaceful place instead of spending Holi in Delhi.

Hema, Charu, Anjali and Dhruti......March 21, 2008 - Fisherman's Cove Chennai

The archway belongs to the hotel we stayed at the Hotel De Pondicherry in the French Quarter.

This elephant does the aarti each night at the Vinayak temple in Pondicherry.
I am just dying to get a pedicure.
Beautiful champa flowers everywhere. Perfect for my birthday.
Metal buckets are everywhere -i haven't seen a brass bucket in forever. This one in the bathroom just brought a smile to my face. Unlike most places I've been - the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom. Of course the bedroom just had room for the twin sized bed and a night stand .
And oh that complicated thing in my ear is an Ayurvedic procedure called Kanaphoosi to help clear the wax buildup in your ears. And if you really must know - no it did not work. It might have if we did not let all these people in to take a photograph !!!!
Breakfast at a local joint - the sambar is served out of a steel bucket. Charu and Anjali thought it was the best.
And just who had the insane idea of going to Mahabalipuram at noon ?
