If you’ve ever walked the leafy lanes of Matunga near King’s Circle, there’s a good chance you’ve slowed down to admire the stained-glass windows of the Shrine of Don Bosco’s Madonna, or the gold-plated statue of Mother Mary (which was cast in Turin, Italy) that stands even higher atop its dome. These towering spectacles, however, tell only one part of the story.

An underground marvel — the crypt — is home to hundreds of tiny relics from ancient and modern saints along with five intricate mosaic panels depicting the life of Christ and Don Bosco. For the first time in its history, the church will open the doors to this crypt for a stage performance — Omkar Bhatkar’s Sacred Voices from the West.
