This picture above is an image of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Pondicherry. The church is situated on the south boulevard of Pondicherry in India, and is an oriental specimen of Gothic architecture. It contains rare stained glass panels depicting events from the life of Christ and saints of the catholic church. In the year 1895, the then Archbishop Mgr.Gandhi consecrated the Archidocese if Pondicherry to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He wished to build a new church in devotion of Sacred Heart of Jesus. Rev.Fr. Telesphore Welter, the parish priest of Nellithope prepared the building plan. This 100-year old Church has been led by twenty parish priests. The Grotto for Our Lady of Lourdes, Parish Hall, Adoration chapel and the new parish community hall were some of the development of this church since the 1960s.
