Mass at the Velankanni Festival


Already at 7:30 in the morning, this space at the Velankanni Festival was the scene of Catholic Mass - one of many that would occur throughout the day. Mass is conducted in English, Tamil, Telegu, Malayalam, and perhaps other languages. At the main Velankanni Church in southern Tamil Nadu, Mass is conducted in eight different languages. Participants number in the thousands.
