One of the most revered holy places, Velankkani is a small
hamlet that is located at a distance of
about 350 kms from Chennai. The Velankanni
tour from Chennai is a great way to explore
this holy place. Velankanni is known for
the Church of Mother Mary. This place is
so popular that it has been referred to
as the Lourdes of the East. Another significant
reason is that the Pope of Vatican has declared
it as a Holy City. The important destinations
that are covered in the Chennai Velankanni
tours are the Velankanni Church and the
Church Museum. There are a lot of regions
in and around Velankanni which also form
part of the tours.
The Chennai Velankanni tour also covers
Nagapattinam which has such destinations
like Shri Kayahorana Swami Neelayathatchi
Amman Temple, Sowriraja Perumal Temple,
and Nellukkadai Mariamman Temple. It is
best to undertake the Velankanni tour from
Chennai during the Arogyamatha festival,
commemorates the Feast of Our lady. Devotees
from all over the world throng this site
for offering their offerings.
