Tuticorin (Thoothukudi) in Tamil Nadu is historically known as the 'Pearl City' due to its pearl fishing industry and strategic location on the pearl trade route. The city has a long history of pearl fishing in the Gulf of Mannar. Pondicherry is a former French colony, Visakhapatnam (Vizag) is the 'City of Destiny', and Daman and Diu are union territories - none are traditionally associated with pearls.
