Taj  West  End  Hotel

Valluvar  Kottam  stone memorial

Notice the baby in the basket

The remains of St. Thomas

The long staff that is visible,

 is supposed to be the spear that killed him.

( another example of the "old relic trade " ? )

This is supposed to contain

 a bone fragment of St. Thomas

There are drawings and texts which date back to 635 A.D. ....which refer to this  "Balance Rock".

How long it has actually been there is anybody's guess.
