St. Mary’s Church is a large building indeed. There is a lot of space around the church, adding to the peaceful feeling. The roses in different colors are quite beautiful.

  2. It is a beautiful church! I am always impressed with magnificent stained glass windows, but what really enthused me was the painted pipes of the organ.

    1. Me too! I too quite like the stained glass windows! They look so beautiful and powerful!

      And the painted pipes of the organ caught my attention well. It was one of the highlights :)

  6. Perhaps you should consider leaving the lies and enslavement of the religious paradigm and live as a Free Man in the Light of Truth. Without guilt and hate. Perhaps.

    1. Not perhaps, but indeed! Indeed, everyone needs to leave religion behind, and take peace and harmony with nature forward.

  7. You given us an outstanding tour of a most beautiful church. If I make it back to Pune, I must see it. Of course, I still want to see the Ganesha temple where you took that most amazing photograph.
