Chavara Bhavan is the ancestral home of the blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, a Carmelite religious priest. It is now a holy shrine and spiritual resort where thousands of devotees gather for prayer, receive favors and feel amply gratified. Here, a 250 year old historically important beacon of light is preserved intact in its original and primitive form. This house can be accessed only by boat and is six km from Alappuzha.
