    A beautiful and wonderful looking church both from outside as well as the inside. A very famous church in Karkala and the annual feast is a very famous and brings in a lot of people together. The architecture of the church is beautiful. A road to the church is also scenic and the surroundings add to the beauty of the church. It is said that a lot of miracles happen at this Shrine. Ample parking available here. It was raining very heavily when we visited the church, hence could not spend too much time. Please visit to see the beauty of the church as well as to get blessings. Stay safe and ride safe !

    One of the Miraculous Basalica constructed on the mountain standing solely facing to Heaven. When people enter here, they don't see caste, religion. Only one thing on which they believe is trust that God will help them in their need through the intercession St. Lawrence.

The atmosphere at St. Lawrence Shrine Minor Basilica is truly serene and captivating. As soon as I entered the premises, I felt a profound sense of peace and tranquillity. The architectural beauty of the basilica, combined with the soothing ambience, created a perfect environment for prayer and reflection. This shrine holds great significance in the hearts of believers, and it's easy to understand why. The devotion to St. Lawrence is palpable, and the rich history and traditions associated with the basilica add to its sacredness. Whether you're a religious person or not, the sense of reverence and spirituality is undeniable. The basilica's architecture is a true masterpiece. The intricate details, the grandeur of the design, and the magnificent stained glass windows all contribute to the overall magnificence of the shrine. Each corner of the basilica is adorned with artistic beauty that showcases the dedication and craftsmanship of its creators. The grounds surrounding the basilica are well-maintained and offer a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a perfect place for a stroll or to sit quietly and meditate amidst nature's beauty. To conclude a visit to St. Lawrence Shrine Minor Basilica is an unforgettable experience that touches the heart and nourishes the soul.

    Throughout the year, the pilgrims irrespective of caste and creed, come to visit the Shrine. People believe that St. Lawrence indeed is a powerful intercessor before God. Not only the people of Attur and the pilgrims that visit the Shrine but even those who without visiting the shrine, still pray for help from the Saint, have felt the helping hand of St. Lawrence. The great number of pilgrims that visit the shrine during the Feast and throughout the year is a testimony that the Saint does not refuse those who approach him with trust and confidence.

    Very nice place, lovely location on top of a hill. Also, for bikers, the road to reach the place are fantastic. There are forests, small villages, hilly roads and if you are lucky you can see wild animals crossing the roads.

    The front of the church is absolutely beautiful and stunning. When we saw yh images, we thought we were going to see a stone churn like how it was built in the olden days. However, we were in for a disappointment. Only the front of the churn looks like that and it's a relatively thin wall. The rest of the hirn is just a regular hall built like nay other halls today. The vibe is pretty good but I wish we knew that it's not a stone church.

    This is one of miraculous and holy places dedicated to St. Lawrence. You can go by your own vehicles and also a number of public transport is available to reach there. You can visit any day and the church will be open for the tourists. It also consists of holy lake. The church feast takes place in January around 26 and it will be celebrated for 3-4 days. It is a must visit place if one is in Udupi/Mangalore.

    This is my parish Church. A divine place which is loved extensively by people from every religion. A wonderful, calm and beautiful place which is loved by many. Visitors keep coming here every single day from different parts of the state/country. No devoty is left unanswered by St.lawrence. Feeling blessed to be born and baptised here. One should visit this place somewhere during September to January as this place is lit up with sorrounding nature thanks to the monsoon rains. January is the time for annual feast. It lasts for close to five to seven days and is jam-packed.

    A Miraclous Church and have been knowing the legend of the church since childhood and many have believed their prayers coming true. Also have bells as per other faiths who visit. Surely visit this shrine either for a outing or faith renewal or for soul searching.

    Very beautiful church, the scenic around and inside church area is just speechless. There is ample parking space. During festive season its crowded like anything.

  • 5/5 Voyager - Sandy N V. 2 years ago on Google
    The St Lawrence Shrine Minor Basilica is a gem in Udupi District. It is a beautiful Church with architectural elements of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Its history and the legend of its patron saint St Lawrence is very poignant. The church is known for its miracles and it draws tens and thousands of people from all faiths. It is a very serene place that one must visit. It is definitely one of the lesser known gems of Karnataka.
