CSI Amaravila
Historical Significance: CSI Amaravila, originally known as Emily Chapel, was established in 1810. It is one of the oldest and most significant Protestant churches in the South Kerala region. The church played a pivotal role in the educational and social reforms of the local community. It was named after Emily, the daughter of a missionary, reflecting its colonial-era roots. The structure stands as a testament to the early missionary work in the Travancore kingdom. The atmosphere inside the chapel is serene and deeply spiritual. The church is surrounded by well-maintained gardens and ancient trees. It serves as a central hub for the CSI community in Neyyattinkara. The historical records preserved here offer insights into the 19th-century life of the region. Many visitors come here to admire the quiet dignity of the old stone walls.
