Kirkee or Khadki is an area of tremendous historical significance. The last Anglo Maratha war was fought here. Since then the victorious British army set up its cantonment at Khadki. Subsequently they established many churches in the area to cater to the religious needs of their soldiers.
St Ignatius Church is located at Gen Thimayya road,Kirkee,Pune. It is a part of the Poona Diocese .
One gets to enter the church through an arch with the words 'Our Lady of Vailananni Pray for us' painted on it.
The pathway to the church is enclosed by walls on both sides. There are murals painted on the wall niches depicting stories from the bible.
The interiors of the church are also splendid and very gothic.
This is indeed a beautiful church and a must watch for the devotees and the curious alike.
