Pondicherry (or Puducherry), a French colonial settlement in India until 1954, is now a Union Territory town bounded by the southeastern Tamil Nadu state.

A seaside promenade runs along the Bay of Bengal and passes several statues, including a 4m-high Gandhi Memorial. Mamallapuram, or Mahabalipuram, is a town on a strip of land between the Bay of Bengal and the Great Salt Lake, in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Krishna’s Butter Ball is a massive boulder balanced on a small hill near the Ganesha Ratha stone temple.
