Bharananganam is a famous pilgrimage center in Kerala, India. It is now nicknamed the Lisieux of India. It is situated along the banks of Meenachil river in Kottayam district. Hardly 5 km from Palai, the place is on Ettumanoor Poonjar state highway. Bharananganam received worldwide attention when Pope Benedict XVI canonised the first saint from an Indian Rite, Saint Alphonsa (Joannes Baptism name is Maria Alphonsa), on October 12, 2008. The mortal remains of Saint Alphonsa are situated here.
