Overview
The white Gothic-style church is a visible landmark in Kanyakumari and an active place of Catholic worship. The corrected page treats the church itself as the destination and does not invent a separate miracle-working object where the institutional record does not establish one.
The church's official schedule and parish information establish the building's identity, Marian dedication, and current worship. Reclassifying the imported record from an ambiguous object label to a church removes a false distinction while preserving its stable URL and exact building image.
