As many people they have embraced Islam in other parts of Kerala after the understanding of the Holy teachings of Holy Prophet pbuh and they settled here. This mosque is an excellent example of Kerala’s Architecture. Still it’s fascinating the tourits and believers. This mosque was built by Muslims with their own funds. Timber was mainly used in the construction of this mosque. It is very beautiful and attractive. Beautiful carving on wood is amazing. The Main Mihrab and Member in the prayer hall are very beautiful.
