The church is decorated with a number of paintings in and around the entire altars and covers each and every aspect. The main altar is elevated to level so that the entire congregation could seen the proceedings of the Holy Mass.
The church of St. Cajetan over the past few decades has been undergoing a process of restoration .Some of the mosaics of the church where whitewashed and such the ASI has made efforts to restore all the mosaics and the paintings. This is a very critical and painstaking process and as such would take some years more. But the efforts are to restore the pristine grandeur of the temple that was lost as a result of negligence.
