Celebration of Saint Marry’s Feast in Bangalore

St. Mary's feast is celebrated as a grand event in
Bangalore. Thousands and thousands of people gather in St. Mary's Basilica in
Shivaji Nagar. The queue becomes several hunred meters long and going into
church takes hours. You can see the crowd and church views in this video.

The main attraction of the celebration is the chariot. A
decorated chariot with Mother Mary on top is pulled from St. Mary's Basilica.
The movement of the chariot with large number of prists in the front becomes a
spectacular event. The band party and devotional songs makes the environment
very attractive. Thousands of people participate in this great event every
year.

After the chariot was pulled away from the church we went
with the chariot for a distance then came back to the church. We had a blissful
darshan of Lord Jesus and Mother Mary in the Church. There was heavy crowd in
the church too. This is one of the two most important festivals in this church,
the other being the Christmas.
