The process of indigenization remained rather peripheral. Among the elements indigenized are the following: The architecture of the Churches was typically Indian. The Churches looked like Pagodas. They were identified with a cross on the roof. The lamps, umbrellas and other paraphernalia of the churches resembled those used in Hindu pagodas. The processions also resembled those of the Hindu temples. But the presence of the cross and the Bible guaranteed their Christian identity. A number of local customs, though not strictly liturgical, were in use in connection with baptism, wedding and funeral. During the marriage ceremony the bridegroom ties a golden ornament, “tali ” round the neck of the bride. A cross of minute beads distinguishes the Christian tali from the Hindu one. The thread to hang the tali is taken from the bridal veil, “Manthrakodi ”.The use of Muthukuda (a silk umbrella), a royal emblem, was a Privilege of St. Thomas Christian Churches and Hindu Pagodas. Even today it is being carried solemnly in Church processions. The apostle sowed the seeds of the Good News in the Indian soil. It sprouted and took shape in the Indian culture. Hence we can proudly speak of an Indian Church. But this inculturation did not reach its fullness because the Liturgy proper was not embedded in the Indian culture, but remained only in the peripherals. Hence today there is need for more enculturation.
