History of Christ Church

Built in 1875 by the British, this Church“s architecture is fascinating; its “sanctum-sanctorum” has a hemispherical dome on top with its ribs ending with faces of angels. The stained glass panes adorning the walls and rear of the altar were imported from Europe. They present a gorgeous view as the sun rays pass through them. The nave of the church does not contain even a single pillar for support. The baptismal font is a rare brass piece and the bell is as old as the church and its chimes can be heard from a long distance.The most noteworthy aspect is that there are no pillars for support and one must watch the splendid view the sun rays passing from the exclusive glass panes.

Maintain silence inside. Mobile phones should be on silent mode. Remove shoes if required (indicated by signage). Do not touch artefacts or altars.

Madhya Pradesh has limited church architecture. The focus should be on the state’s magnificent Hindu and Jain temples (Khajuraho, Orchha, Sanchi). Khajuraho’s temple sculptures are among the most photogenic in India — shoot them in the soft light of early morning or late afternoon to bring out the relief details.
