Puducherry Port, Cholapuri, Akhand Bharatiya Empire
The port of Puducherry was bustling with activity, with local traders proudly displaying their wares like tea, coffee, and various spices out in the open. The faint scent of spices lingered in the air, impacting the senses of anyone unaccustomed to it. Businessmen came from all over the country and even several parts of the world, like the merchants from ASEAN nations, traders from Russia who came through the Sea of Japan and South China Sea, and sometimes even the Portuguese and Spanish travelling with the logistics fleet of the Bharatiya Empire.
