A [[lighthouse]] was constructed in [[Pondicherry]] in the nineteenth century by the [[French India|French]] rulers. A new lighthouse was constructed in 20th century by the government of India.

== The old lighthouse ==
In nineteenth century, the only light to guide ships coming to Pondicherry was atop the Red Hills which was inadequate. The project was finally taken up during the tenure of Governor [[Saint Simon (French governor of Pondicherry)|Saint Simon]] in 1835. Louis Guerre was the engineer of the project. The foundation stone for the lighthouse was laid at the end of 1835 and the inauguration ceremony took place in February 1836.<ref name="pn">{{cite web |title=Lighthouse |url=http://pondynews.com/tour-light.php |website=Pondynews |accessdate=17 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140824095155/http://pondynews.com/tour-light.php |archive-date=24 August 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The height of the lighthouse is 29 meters. It has a round tower and a square base. The cost of construction was 10,000 francs. The foundation has a depth of nine meters. Its light beam could be seen from a distance of 15 miles. The light source consisted of six oil lamps and two reflectors. The light source was converted to electric lamps in 1913. The power of the lamp was increased in 1931.<ref name="pn" /> The new lamp had a range of 26 nautical miles. It took 36 seconds for one full rotation of the beam.<ref name="TH1">{{cite news |last1=C. |first1=JAISHANKAR |title=Old lighthouse set to gussy up with new look |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/old-lighthouse-set-to-gussy-up-with-new-look/article3916885.ece |accessdate=17 September 2014 |agency=20 September 2012 |newspaper=The Hindu}}</ref>
