Kanniga Parameswari Temple

Puducherry (formerly known as Pondicherry), Puducherry, India
Kanniga Parameswari Temple is a unique and historically significant temple dedicated to the goddess Shakti. The temple is a fascinating blend of Tamil and French architectural styles, a reflection of Puducherry's unique cultural fusion. The temple's facade features arched walls, ionic columns, and s tained glass windows, all reminiscent of a French building. However, the inner ceiling is supported by traditional granite pillars, and the sanctum sanctorum has a typical Tamil design. The temple is a living example of the coexistence and blending of different cultures and traditions in Puducherry.
