| NIRANAM CHURCH |
 |
St. Thomas is believed to have visited Niranam in 53 A.D. He erected a crucifix and founded and built a church on the site. The church is dedicated to St. Mary.The present edifice is a renovation of the old. The tall, granite cross in front of the church is a relic of the past.The paintings and sculptures bear elequent testimony to a high architectural standard. A statue of St. Mary carved in marble and another in puregold are proud attractions of the church. A holy cross made in gold and studded with gems, is unrivalled in craftmanship and cost. |
| The birthday of St. Mary, 8th September is celebrated on a grand scale and the feast of St. Thomas is celebrated on 3rd July. |
