# List of basilicas in India

This is the complete list of all the Basilicas in India. India, with 34 churches officially designated as basilicas, is the country with the most basilicas in Asia.
The Basilica is a title given to certain Catholic churches. By canon law of the church, no church can be honoured with the title unless by an apostolic grant or from immemorial custom. The title is bestowed upon churches that are considered culturally significant, functioning as an important place of pilgrimage or for a specific devotion, such as to a saint or a Marian apparition. Basilicas in this canonical sense are divided into major ("greater") and minor basilicas. Today, only four churches, all in Rome, are classified as major basilicas: St John Lateran, St Peter's, St Paul outside the Walls, and St Mary Major. The other canonical basilicas, including all the 34 basilicas in India, are minor basilicas. 22 of the country's basilicas are dedicated to Saint Mary.
There are 34 basilicas in India, of which 28 are of the Latin Church, five are of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and one belongs to the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church. A vast majority of the Indian basilicas are located in South India. Amongst the states, Kerala hosts the highest number of basilicas at twelve, including all of the six non-Latin basilicas, while Tamil Nadu has nine basilicas, Karnataka has four and the union territory of Pondicherry has two. All the remaining basilicas are the only ones in their respective states or union territories.
