A short distance of 500 metres from the Forane church takes one to the foot of the hill. From hence forward one has visuals enough to drift into meditative mood, relishing the sculptural beauty of the Scriptures—the fourteen stations in the Way of the Cross, Jacob’s Well, The Agony in the Garden of Gathsamen, Jesus on the lap of Mother Mary, Jonah the Prophet and the whale, The Sermon on the Mount, the Resurrected Jesus— the long array of visuals creates a celestial aura to the place. The dizzy raptures of nature that the hills offer are equally rejuvenating for the casual tourists and devout pilgrims. The serene ambience, accompanied by the gentle breeze and the panoramic view from the hill top are the distinctive features of this divine space. The Vallyachan Kananam(VallyachanWoods) is a home to a wide variety of plants and trees that add to the pristine purity of the locale
