St. Mary's Basilica - This
Church situated opposite the Russel Market Square was built as a small
chapel in 1818 by Abbey Dubois,
but was later converted into an ornate Gothic style Church by Rev.
L.E.Kleiner. By 1882 a fairly large number of stained glass windows from
Paris adorned the Basilica, but were removed during World War II. These
were re-restored with great care in 1947. The Church was given the status
of a Basilica (then the Sixth in India) in 1973 through a Papal order by
Pope John Paul VI.
