Vimalagiri Cathedral Dressed in Colours
Kottayam’s Gothic beauty, the Vimalagiri Cathedral (one of the ‘places to visit’) was decorated in rich style for the annual feast. It is celebrated every 8th December, the Feast of Mary Immaculate. On this day people are allowed to use the stairs behind the Altar and go up near the statue of Mother Mary.
The Cathedral is one of the few churches in Kerala, built in true Gothic style. First-timers will be taken by huge awe & surprise and others will find it hard not to visit the Cathedral frequently. Such is the charm!
Experience a 360-degree interactive panorama of the Church here.
Almost a Sabarimala Basecamp
Every year, Kottayam, to be precise, Kottayam Railway Station becomes almost a basecamp for Sabarimala. Though Chengannur station is developed with this in mind, Kottayam is still the major stop en route Sabarimala by train. It has been so for years long back. During the season, railway station becomes a many in one spot. Buses, taxis and yeah, trains.
And the buzz never stops regardless of day and night.
