    Shrine of Vailankanni Inspired by the Noah's Ark, Stella Maris Church in Kalmady is built in the shape of a boat and also has a bell tower in the shape of a lighthouse.This place is more holy and powerful. One can offer prayers and intentions and your prayers will be fulfilled.The miraculous statue of Our Lady of Velankanni is also here.

    This church is built in the shape of a boat. Pristine white in colour it offers a spectacular exterior view during the day. The white church surrounded by the background of blue sky and clouds, worth visiting it, for watching and clicking lovely pictures. Loved the view of the church. Couldn't go inside the church and click pictures as the mass was still going on. But we prayed near the Mother Mary's grotto outside, where you can light some candles and pray. Parking space available. It also has a souvenir shop besides the church, where one can buy statues, keychains, rings,etc.

    Beautiful church on the way to Malpe beach. It's design resembles that of a huge ship. The frontal side of the church is surrounded with a water pool to resemble ship sailing in the sea. Church interior is equally beautiful. The main altar is beautifully designed. Church is huge and open throughout the day. We visited the church at 3 pm on our way back from Malpe beach. Parking available inside the compound. There is a religious store too selling all religious articles. This church is one if its kinds and if one is near Udupi, you should not miss it.
