Warangal,
157 km from Hyderabad, is noted for its beautiful lakes, splendid temples
and wildlife. It was once the capital of the legendary Kakatiya kingdom,
and mentioned.
Work of art at his studio in London. The pictures
glow vibrant and life like. Each window is made up of several bits of
painted glass which has been glued into a single piece and then delicately
set into the stone windows. The window to the north which offers a canopy
to the altar is the most moving. It depicts the scene of ascension of
Jesus towering above the altar dwarfing everything. Jesus ascends to
heaven.
The other two windows decorating the east and west faced
depict the scenes of the birth of Jesus and his crucifixion. The colour
spectrum produced by these windows inside by the early and late afternoon
sun is beautiful and beyond all description. With its immensity and
beauty, this century old church stand out as one of the finest examples of
Gothic architecture in India.
