St. Lawrence Minor Basilica ( Attur, Udupi ) - History details

Founded 1759 near Karkala (Attur), the shrine rose to fame for reported miracles and the massive January Attur Jatre. After the community’s captivity under Tipu Sultan (1784–1799), the present church was blessed on 22 Jan 1901; Pope Francis elevated it to Minor Basilica (Apr 26, 2016). The campus runs schools, an orphanage and year‑round novenas.
