Aayi Mandapam is a white monument in Puducherry which was built during the time of Napoleon III, Emperor of France.

Aayi Mandapam also known as Park Monument. This 162 year old monument is built in the center of the Bharathi Park. A lady named ‘Ayi’ sacrificed her own house to allow the water line reach the city, which led to the monument to be named after her. Thus, this white monument celebrates the supply of water in the city during the French reign.
