Idaikattur is a small village by the river Vaigai, close to Manamadurai. I took a drive to visit the historic "Sacred Heart of Jesus"Shrine - a century old church of architectural significance.
The church was built in 1894 AD by French missionary Fr. Ferdinand Celle SJ with funds donated by Mary Anne- a French Anglican lady.
The church is an attempt to replicate the Rheims Cathedral in France.
So much history behnd those buildings.love the pictures.thanks for sharing.
