The Annai Velankanni Shrine is situated on the shores of Bay of Bengal, at the Elliot's beach, in Chennai. The Church is a popular tourist destination for visitors who come to offer prayers or visit the beautiful Bessie beach.

The name Annai Velankanni strikes a deep chord of reverence amongst the devout of all religions in the south of India. The church is the replica of the Basilica of Our Lady of Health at Velankanni. People belonging to different faiths gather here to pray for the health and happiness of their loved ones as it is believed that one will get the same blessings in this shrine of Virgin Mary as he gets in Velankanni.
