Which Indian city is known for its abundance of buildings featuring French colonial architecture?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Puducherry (Pondicherry).
Puducherry is famous for its high concentration of French colonial architecture, particularly in its historic White Town neighborhood. Serving as the chief French base in India until 1954, the city features a unique grid layout. The buildings are instantly recognizable by their bright mustard-yellow and white walls, arched compound gates, high ceilings, and distinct wooden window shutters. This preserved heritage, seamlessly blended with traditional Tamil styles, gives the coastal town its famous European charm.
