Every year, thousands of pilgrims travel from all over the country to visit the shrine of Infant Jesus, which has been known for many miracles over the years
While earlier there were specific trains organised, there are also many buses that conduct a day trip or more to the shrine, as others take up accommodation in the neighbourhood.
The shrine was built in 1970 by the Late Father Peter Lewis. While the shrine is usually visited by Catholic devotees, over the years, it has seen many people of other faith also visit like Mount Mary Church feast in Bandra during Bandra Fair
Ever since the church was built, there have been many people who have visited it every year and in the process become a place for pilgrimage like many other areas in the country including Vailankanni among others
Along with the many religious services, there are also many different kinds of stalls that allow people to make different kinds of offerings
