A drowning church – Shettihalli (India)
Drowning Churches are quite a
fascination across the world. Something about them captures the
imagination. Shettihallli may not be the most
secret place in India, but it is one of the more mysterious places to
visit in India. However, rather than being spooky many people say that
it is a deeply peaceful place to explore.
It is sometimes referred to as the floating church, sometimes the drowning church. As you may have guessed this is due to the fact that waters around it rise and fall. Rather excitingly, if you are visiting during monsoon season, you should be able to explore by boat! India is of course a Hindu country, perhaps why this church was abandoned in the 1960’s. By contrast with so many Hindu temples, some may find this church is one of the more mysterious spiritual places in India.
