Since 2005, a catholic temple, in Indo-Mogul style, devoted to Our Lady of Good Health also known as Our Lady of Vailankanni (Tamil: ஆரோக்கிய மாதா Ārōkkiya mātā), is built in Medan, Indonesia. This particular Saint knows its origin with an apparition in the 17th century in Velankanni Town, Tamil Nadu, India.[1] The temple is an imposing building, of two storeys and a small tower of seven storeys in Indonesian style, that already attracts attention from the main road (it is situated in the small road Jl. Sakura III besides Jl. Simatupang). It is important pilgrimage site in Asia.
