Description
This chapel was built in 1947. The concrete portico with a circular vimanam was added in 1949. It is accessible by a concrete driveway and a tiled aisle, and includes several buildings and multicolored edicts. A first concrete edict, with a terrace roof, is decorated with colorful floral and figurative paintings. The openings, such as the metal door at the front and the wooden windows, have curved shapes. To the right of the main building, there is a concrete portico surmounted by a circular vimanam. Further right, there is a concrete building with a section covered with corrugated sheet. Then there is a tiled concrete fountain, a concrete nargoulan mast and a concrete kodi on base. Between these last two structures, a concrete edict has four Kalasams.
