The old part of Pondicherry is known as the Boulevard Town since it is bounded by four boulevards that once constituted the outer limits of the city’s fortification. The Boulevard Town presents two distinct architectural styles in the Tamil and French quarters‚ which are separated by a canal and unified by a grid iron plan.

In a brief sum up‚ Our Town is a play based only on imagination. If you don’t have an imagination‚ you’ll be staring at a bare stage because there are few props on stage.
