Vimalagiri Cathedral Dressed in Colours
The Gothic Beauty of Kottayam in festive mood
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.
