Mysore’s St Philomena’s Church tells tourists to dress decently

MYSORE: The historic St Philomena's Cathedral here will soon have a dress code for foreign visitors. This follows complaints that their attire has not been in keeping with the sanctity of the place. The move planned by parishioners has the blessing of the bishop of Mysore, who said St. Philomena's is no marketplace but a place of worship. 

The celebrated church, built in the 1930s with assistance from Mysore Maharaja Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, logs some 4,000 visitors, domestic and foreigners, a day. For some time, worshippers have been insisting that that certain dress regulations should be imposed.CLICK HERE
