St. Andrew's Basilica

St. Andrew's Basilica

St Andrews Church in Mararikulam is a charming historic Catholic church serving the traditional fishing community of Marari — a simple, whitewashed colonial church that reflects the centuries-old Portuguese Christian heritage of Kerala's western coast. The church is most vibrant during the Mararikulam feast day (St Andrew's Day, November 30) when the village celebrates with a colourful procession, music, and traditional Kerala Christian community festivities. A top Marari cultural heritage stop.
