Parumala Church, Orthodox church in Pathanamthitta district, India

Parumala Church is a circular building designed by Charles Correa, with an inner diameter of 39 metres divided into three segments by two 16-metre chords. The current structure, approved in 1993 and consecrated in 2000, seats more than 2,000 worshippers. Correa visited old Malankara Syriac churches and Coptic churches in Egypt before drawing the design.

In 1885 Arikupurathu Mathen Karnavar gave Mar Dionysius II a two-acre plot at Parumala, where a temporary church already stood. Chathurithiyil Geevarghese Mar Gregorios rebuilt it with personal gifts and parish donations, adding a seminary whose first building, Azhippura, taught Syriac to church functionaries. The rebuilt church was consecrated on 27 January 1895, before Gregorios's Jerusalem pilgrimage.

The annual feast is held on 1 and 2 November, with the pilgrimage week running from 26 October, when the flag is raised, until 2 November. Many pilgrims arrive on foot, and the government declares a public holiday on the feast day in the Mavelikkara, Chengannur and Thiruvalla taluks. When 2 November falls on a Sunday, the feast moves to 2 and 3 November.

The annual feast runs from 1 to 2 November, with the pilgrimage week beginning at the flag-hoisting on 26 October; when 2 November falls on a Sunday, the feast moves to 2 and 3 November. Many pilgrims arrive on foot. The church lies about 7 km from Thiruvalla, 10 km from Chengannur and 25 km from Pandalam, on the Pamba river island of Parumala.

Gregorios of Parumala died on 2 November 1902, aged 54, and was declared a saint in 1947 by Baselios Geevarghese II, Catholicos of the East. The church keeps his tomb, and the annual feast on 1 and 2 November draws pilgrims who arrive on foot from the surrounding taluks.
