Mount Carmel Church in Bandra west.
Ref Wikipedia : The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Bandra is a Roman Catholic church in Bandra, Mumbai. It was built in 1894 by Jesuit Missionaries. As the catholic population in Bandra increased in the latter half of the 20th century, a new modern structure was constructed in its place. The new church was blessed and inaugurated on 11 February 1981 by Archbishop Simon Pimenta, Archbishop of Bombay.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the heading, the photo at the top of your blog. And I like the style of the letters/the logo on the ground.
ReplyDeleteNice image! Interesting history lesson, thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually associate Catholicism with India, so this is a great reminder of India's diversity!

This is a very interesting building; quite different than churches in the U.S. I'd love to see the nave and chancel areas. I think there are many people who don't realize that Christianity was brought to India way back in the 4th or 5th century (I think that's right). St. Thomas? (I've forgotten a lot of what I knew!!!)
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a different-looking church.
ReplyDeleteA different take, thanks for sharing.
