It is famous for the festivities held during the St. Mary's Feast in the month of September each year, an event that attracts devotees from in and around Bengaluru. The basilica is built in Gothic style with arches, ornamental motifs and stained glass windows. Multiple columns and tall spires of the basilica can be seen from quite a distance.
