#Thrissur Puthanpalli

[alightinthelantern]

The basilica of Our Lady of Dolours is a church in Thrissur City, Kerala, India. Belonging to Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, an Eastern Catholic sect local to the Indian state of Kerala that practices using the East Syriac rites and liturgy, the basilica boasts 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2), and the tallest tower reaches a height of 260 feet (79 m), making it the third-tallest church in Asia.

Often referred to locally as “Puthanpalli” (“New Church”), construction began in 1929, in response to the local Christian community splitting due to differing practices in rites and theology; those that switched to practicing the Chaldean Syrian rites gained the original church building, renamed the Mart Mariam Big Church, and those remaining in the Syro-Malabar rite needed a new house of worship. The church’s construction progressed in stages, and though the building was consecrated on 24 November, 1940, work continued for some time afterward.

A particularly fine example of Indo-Gothic architecture, the building is cruciform in layout, with double-storeyed aisles along the nave and transepts, and eleven altars, five on either side of the main one. Possessing three towers and a stout lantern over its central crossing, the twin belfries incorporated in its front, West facade reach a height of 146 ft. (45 m), while its tallest spire is situated at the eastern terminus of the nave, behind the crossing. This tower, named the Bible Tower, completed in 2007, is 260 ft. (79 m) tall, making it both the tallest church-tower in India and the tallest point in Thrissur. Inside are multiple viewing platforms, and at the tallest point one can view the entire city below.

Decoration is restrained throughout the interior of the church, predominantly white with extensive use of trimming in accent colors, but the altars and central crossing are elaborately decorated, and feature fine specimens of murals and sculpturework.
