St. Philomena's Church, Mysore, Gothic cathedral in Mysore, India
The cathedral features dual spires rising to 175 feet, with a cross-shaped floor plan containing a central nave and transepts forming the arms.
Construction began in 1933 under Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV's reign, replacing an earlier church from 1843 built for European residents.
The cathedral integrates Indian design elements with traditional Gothic architecture, including statues wearing regional Indian clothing within its structure.
The cathedral remains open daily from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM, accommodating 800 people with regular masses and special Sunday services.
A catacomb beneath the main altar houses relics of Saint Philomena, brought from Rome in 1926 by local official TRV Thamboo Chetty.
