The restoration work of St. Raphael’s Church, built in 1859 at Ezhupunna, has begun as part of the efforts to conserve monumental buildings. The present condition of the church has been studied, and measures are being taken to ensure the upkeep of the church through the Department of Archaeology.

• It had been initially decided in 1995 to demolish the church and build a new one in its place, but there was opposition to the proposal considering its prominence in the history of churches in the State. A team of archaeologists was entrusted with the task of examining the condition of the church and submitting a report, based on which the restoration works are now being carried out.
