I was looking up on a map of India and saw several scattered regions called Pondicherry. What is it actually?

Hey, I live in Pondicherry ! It's now been renamed Puducherry. It's actually a Union Territory, not a state. Apart from the main region Pondicherry, Mahe in Kerala, Yanam in Andhra Pradesh and Karaikal in Tamil Nadu also come under the administration of Pondicherry. That's why those places also are marked Pondicherry. Hope your doubt has been satisfactorily cleared !

Pondicherry is a Union Territory of India.
In September 2006, the territory changed its official name from Pondicherry to Puducherry, which means "New village" in the Tamil language.
Pondicherry consists of four small unconnected districts: Pondicherry, Karaikal, and Yanam on the Bay of Bengal and Mahé on the Arabian Sea. Puducherry and Karaikal are by far the larger ones, and are both enclaves of Tamil Nadu. Yanam and Mahé are enclaves of Andhra Pradesh and Kerala respectively.

Pondicherry is a Union Territory. It is around 6 Hr drive from Chennai City. It is awesome palce with great beach. Aurabindo Ashram is located there. Pondicherry is a very great place to visit with family. It is not expensive which makes this place a great tourist destination. It is one of the best places I visited.

Its a Union Territory, not a state. Four districts based in the South of India.

It is becoming a Corporate destination for hospitality and meetings. Goa is a different cup of tea. It is traditionally known for its quaint alien culture. Hopefully, Pondi will not tread the Goan way.
