Every year, devotees queue to pray at the church’s altar, which is adorned with colourful flowers. This year is no different, with worshippers pausing after their prayers to admire the beautifully decorated statue
While the main altar is inside the church, another altar on the left side, where daily Masses are being held this week, has also been decorated. The altar glows in different shades of blue and green, adding to the church’s festive ambience
While you make your way out of the church, don't forget to go up the grotto that is also decorated with colourful flowers in the form of garlands. It is one stop on the pilgrimage for every devotee who visits Mount Mary's Basilica not only during September but throughout the year
After the grotto, make your way to the Holy Cross in front, and pause there to pray along with hundreds of devotees, as they also click pictures to freeze their visit in time
Walk through the Bandra Fair and you will find a cross at the bottom of the steps, and many people don't fail to stop and pray for a moment while they are there
