| Mount Mary Church, officially “The Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount”. While this building is about 100 years old, the site was first occupied by Portuguese Jesuits who built a chapel here in the 16th Century. |

| A small crucifix stands in the middle of the road between the church and a pavilion-like religious structure. |

| This is India -- every statue of a deity should have a garland of flowers -- especially for festivals. (This is Holy Week.) |
