Thiruvithamcode Arappally, Ancient Christian church in Kalkulam, India.
Thiruvithamcode Arappally is a Christian church in Kalkulam with three distinct structural sections dating to the 17th century. The walls are constructed from locally sourced stone and display traditional building techniques of that era.
The church was established as a place of worship and remains one of the earliest Christian structures still in active use today. It has endured for centuries and continues to serve its religious purpose.
The church serves the Orthodox Syrian Christian community as a gathering place where daily prayers and religious observances take place. Members come here to celebrate their traditions and maintain their spiritual connections.
