14. Ananda Ranga Pillai traded in cloth, yarn, indigo and areca
nut with Manila, Mocha and Mascareigne. He had his own
ship 'Anandappuravi' which sailed on long trading voyages
on high seas. Ananda Ranga Pillai's house in Pondicherry,
which is located in a street named after him, was one of the
few buildings to survive the British invasion of the city in
1761. It was recently recognized as a heritage monument by
the Government of Puducherry. The mansion is known for its
unique blend of Indian and French architecture: the ground
floor being built in Indian fashion, while the columns which
supported the terrace followed the French architectural style.
