In the heart of the French Section of Pondicherry is a magnificent Park ..
The Park's formal name is BHARATI PARK.
The Park's namesake .. Subramanya Bharati .. was a Tamil poet-patriot (1882 to 1921).
The Park's common name is GOVERNMENT SQUARE.
In the very heart of Government Square is the below monument.
The beautiful monument's proper name is .. The 'Aayi Mandapam'.
It is also .. and much-more-commonly called .. 'The Park Monument'.
Wikipedia! What would WE ALL DO WITHOUT YOU! I am proud to have contributed financially to Wikipedia for several years now!
Cyclone Thane tore into 'Pondi' on Friday .. December 30, 2011. The photo below is what the
little monument and its grounds looked like two weeks later during my visit in January and February 2012.
Another view of the beautiful Aayi Mandapam .. the centerpiece of Government Square in 'Pondi'.
Adjacent to Government Square .. across the street along the North edge of the square .. is the below building.
At one time this building was the Royal Governor's Mansion. It is now used for a variety of activities. Believe me .. it is STILL ROYAL AND MAGNIFICENT !
The daily 'Honors'!
OH 'PONDI' .. I SALUTE YOU !
With great LOVE ! .. Cap ..
