This four-hundred year old church is one the oldest churches in India. It holds the amazingly preserved body of St. Francis Xavier. It is considered to be the best example of baroque architecture in India. While the lavishly decorated altar and tomb of St Francis Xavier are the most celebrated aspects of this church, this gilded pulpit was my own favorite. I moved in below it with a wide angle lens held vertically, making the carved angel on the front of the pulpit appear as if it was a figurehead at the bow of a ship.
