    The shrine is located in a beautiful hilly place, nice green view. I wish that I could see at least one full length photograph of the shrine. Thanks to God for providing such place for all. I love any Church because the moment you enter any church you feel that cool silence and so much of peace. The atmosphere itself makes you a nice feel. You may now think that one can pray (communicate with God) anywhere anytime, Yes! we all can do that, but when you see some malls, or any entertainment places which can attract you, same way places like these also will attract to attain peace at certain times.
