In my visit to the ST Mary’s Church, I came to know its interior is light, open and airy.  The   interior of Its, is rich in the mixture of historic and modernism. It gives the shadow of long-standing heritage. The church has the traditional English gothic Revival style, with a tall nave and beautiful stained-glass windows that depict biblical scenes, creating colorful reflections inside. While clicking these images I was astonishing the balance that the architecture has created very well. I learnt the new thing is that how to create latest buildings while touching the old tradition, spiritual and modernism together.
