History Of Chavara Bhavan
Alleppey , Kerala, India
Chavara Bhavan is a revered Catholic pilgrimage center and the ancestral home of Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara (Father Kuriakose Elias Chavara), a prominent 19th-century Catholic priest, social reformer, and educational pioneer in Kerala. The Bhavan is a holy shrine and spiritual center nestled in t he serene backwaters of the village of Kainakary, completely surrounded by water. Due to its unique location, the only way to reach it is by boat, which in itself offers a beautiful and tranquil journey through the famed Alleppey backwaters. The 250-year-old ancestral house is meticulously preserved, offering a profound insight into the simple life and roots of the saint who was instrumental in bringing about social and educational changes, including starting the first school for girls in Kerala. Visitors can explore the well-maintained house, which features a preserved historical beacon of light, a significant artifact tied to the saint's legacy. Adjacent to the ancestral home is a small, quiet church where devotees gather for prayer and reflection. The complex also houses a museum that displays various artifacts, documents, and memorabilia related to the life and works of Saint Chavara. His contributions went beyond religion; he promoted literacy, started the first printing press in the region, and worked tirelessly for the marginalized. The peaceful ambiance of the location, combined with its historical and spiritual significance, attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists alike, making it a unique stop in the Alleppey backwater circuit. A visit to Chavara Bhavan is not just a historical tour but a deeply spiritual and reflective experience in a stunning natural setting.
