Due to some high end contacts, we managed to enter a room where access is denied in normal course. The room was glittering with the fine golden decoration it had on all the carvings on its walls and ceiling. There was a table in the center of the room, which supposedly had traveled to many important museums around the world before landing in this church. This room was like the sanctum-sanctorum of the church. It is prinicipally used as a back-end access to the "virgin's" statue whenever it needs to be dressed and flowers need to be offerred on special occassions.
Being at the place was really an experience to cherish. Click on the image to see the fine artistry. It is really amazing.
