Among the Union Territories listed as distinct entities (before the merger of Daman and Diu with Dadra and Nagar Haveli), Puducherry has the largest area. Puducherry’s total area is approximately 479 sq km, comprising its four geographically separate districts (Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe, and Yanam). Chandigarh has an area of about 114 sq km, Lakshadweep is about 32 sq km, and the erstwhile Daman and Diu had an area of about 112 sq km.

Union Territories in India vary significantly in size and population. Knowing their relative areas helps in answering geographical comparison questions.

As of 2023, the largest Union Territory by area is Ladakh, followed by Jammu and Kashmir, and then the merged Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. However, among the options provided in the question, Puducherry was the largest as a standalone UT.
