The Basilica of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Karumathampatti, Tamil Nadu is a Catholic Shrine. Karumathampatty was already a pilgrimage centre in 1640. St. John de Britto visited the church at least 3 times. The original chapel was destroyed in 1684 by the soldiers of the Mysore Rajah Saraboji but rebuilt soon after. The church was again destroyed by Tipu Sultan in 1784 and rebuilt in 1803. It is visited by huge numbers of people in order to venerate Our Lady of the Rosary and to pray for favours.
