The 3 meter tall statue of the ‘Father of the Nation’ Mahatma Gandhi, was made by the famous sculptor Roy Choudary of Madras school of Arts and crafts. The statue is installed east-facing the ‘Place de Gouvernment’ surrounded by six monolithic pillars.

The light house

The 27 meter tall light house started on 1 July 1836 has retired from functioning is situated just opposite to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the beach road called as Goubert Avenue. This old light house gives a majestic look and stands as a remarkable place in the history of Pondicherry.

The Beach Avenue

The tall and elegant war memorial is just away from the Gandhi statue was raised by the French to honor the memory of those soldiers who laid down their lives in World War I. The 27 meter tall old lighthouse, the circular shaped two exhibiting the majestic look to the place. All of these add grandeur to the beach road once known as Cours Chabrol and later renamed as Goubert avenue.
