| Aayi Mandabam Pondicherry Historical Monument |
Built in the centre of the beautiful Bharati Park, Park Monument (Aayi Mandapam) is one of the most iconic structures of Pondicherry. Named after a famous female courtesan named 'Aayi', this monument was built during the period of Napoleon III in the 16th century. According to folklore, Aayi destroyed her own house to build a reservoir to supply water in the city.
Aayi Mandapam is an imposing milky white structure that flaunts brilliant Greco-Roman architecture. The presence of flowerbeds, well-manicured lawns and gorgeous fountains around the monument greatly accentuates its exquisiteness.
