As the blistering afternoon sun of Puducherry slowly set, a group of history enthusiasts gathered by Palais de Mahe, one of the town’s biggest boutique hotels, to walk through the old town and learn about its unique and interesting history.
Puducherry was once occupied by the French and hence, educating tourists about the history and heritage of the town has been of paramount importance for its residents and the Government.
The Pondicherry Heritage Festival (PHF) is one such initiative. For the last 10 years, citizens have come together to educate the locals and tourists about the importance of preserving the unique architecture and culture of the town.
