Abstract
Abstract This abstract outline the restoration process of St. Michael and All Angels Church, which was constructed in the Thoothukudi region of Tamil Nadu in 1883. The church is a significant landmark and an important example of local ecclesiastical architecture. The project aims to use a methodical restoration approach to preserve the building’s historical and architectural identity. The first step in the process is to identify any structural deficiencies, which will then be addressed using traditional techniques. Traditional materials will also be used to replace any damaged parts, such as timber fittings, stained glass windows, and decorative elements, to maintain authenticity. The building will be assessed using a standard penetration radar test (GPR). The restoration work will use lime mortar consisting of lime (CaO), sand (SiO2), and juice extract from gall nut and jaggery, similar to the existing structure. The roof will be restored using a 5-layer protective coating. Special measures will be taken to preserve the historic significance of the building.
