Christalaya, Hadanur

Christalaya mission centre, situated at K.R. Pet Taluk in Mandya district, is renowned for its exceptional treatment of snakebite cases. Fr Augustine Mundyavil, a highly experienced individual in this field, has saved thousands of poor people from the brink of death. The collaboration, selfless service, and sacrifice of the Snehagiri Sisters since the inception of this centre are commendable and unquestionable. Recently, Fr Ashil Kizkkekara, a young missionary, has joined the team. Under his leadership, a tuition programme for 46 poor village children has been initiated and organises youth activities. Many visitors come to enjoy the beautiful Ayurvedic and botanical garden of Christalaya.
