Mount Tabor St. Thomas Monastery in Chooramudy stands as a serene beacon of prayer, rooted in the Syriac Orthodox tradition and the apostolic legacy of St. Thomas. Nestled amid Kerala’s lush hills, the monastery invites pilgrims into a life of contemplation, liturgical beauty, and spiritual renewal. It is also blessed to enshrine holy relics of St. Gregorios Geevarghese Metropolitan of Parumala, drawing faithful hearts to his enduring intercession and sanctity.
