    The Ananda Ranga Pillai Mansion in Pondicherry, built in 1735, is one of the oldest surviving houses owned by Tamil traders. It beautifully blends European and traditional Tamil architectural styles, with carved wooden pillars surrounding the courtyard on the ground floor and elegant masonry columns on the first floor terrace, reflecting the two cultures of its owner Ananda Ranga Pillai, who was a dubash (interpreter and advisor) to the French governor Dupleix.

    18th-Century Tamil Building Ananda Ranga Pillai Mansion

    Among the buildings owned by Tamil noble men and traders, the house of Ananda Ranga Pillai (109 on the street that bears his name), built in 1735, is one of the oldest. Spared by the British in 1761, this is one of the most beautiful examples of a traditional Tamil house with European influence in Pondicherry. On the ground floor, in typically Indian fashion, the courtyard is surrounded by exquisitely carved wooden pillars ; on the first floor, the terrace is supported by elegant masonry columns of European design. This edifice is plainly the expression of the two cultures to which the great dubash of the French governor Dupleix belonged.
