St. Teresa’s Shrine, Mahé, Catholic shrine in Mahé, India.
The building features intricate stained glass windows throughout its interior, illuminating biblical scenes while natural light flows through the structure.
Founded in 1736 by Father Dominic of St. John of the Cross, the shrine underwent multiple reconstructions due to conflicts between French and British forces.
The shrine celebrates its annual feast from the second to fourth week of October, drawing participants from various regions regardless of religious background.
The shrine complex includes the Avila Pilgrim Centre, St. Teresa's School, and a parish hall, with regular mass services throughout the week.
In 2023, Pope Francis designated St. Teresa's Shrine as the first minor basilica in North Kerala through an official papal decree.
