Beautiful Cathedral

One oft mentioned place in many chennai guides is the Santhome church or St. Thomas Cathedral Basilica. Built more than 100 years ago, this place is architecturally wonderful.

Simply said, the Gothic architecture is marvellous and the interior stupendous. Pretty well maintained as well.

Thanks to one of my friends who was interested in visiting this church, and due to boredom of the dull weekend and curiosity to take some snaps, I joined in. I tried some pictures with my friend's recently bought digital camera and a couple of them turned out decent.



Being close to the well known Santhome beach, this church is worth a visit, even for non-christians like me.
