The intent of this publication is to foster awareness of Pondicherry’s unique architecture, the threats it is facing and what is being done by INTACH, in collaboration with the government and citizens of Pondicherry, to preserve this rapidly disappearing heritage, a valuable generator of local income and employment in tourism.

Most of all, this booklet is to stimulate you, the reader, to work with us and help us achieve this and other goals.

This film highlights the French and Tamil architectural heritage of Pondicherry and the threats it faces and what is being done about it. It is a film that will make you think and join hands to protect this unique heritage.
