Read Explanation:
The mortal remains of Chavara Achan (Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara) were initially kept in St. Philomena's Church in Koonammavu, where he passed away on January 3, 1871.
However, his mortal remains were later transferred in 1889 to the St. Joseph's Monastery Church in Mannanam, Kerala. This church is considered the motherhouse of the CMI (Carmelites of Mary Immaculate) congregation he co-founded, and his tomb is now a significant pilgrimage site there.
