Masjid-o-Anwari, Islamic mosque in Triplicane, Chennai, India
Masjid-o-Anwari is located on Big Street in Triplicane and features traditional Indian Islamic architectural design. The building is characterized by white walls and geometric patterns that define its structure and appearance.
The mosque was constructed in the 18th century by Nawab Anwaruddin Muhammed Khan of the Carnatic as a religious and community center. It has been an important landmark in the city's religious landscape for centuries.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the local Muslim community who come for daily prayers and religious observances. It remains a focal point for religious life in this historic neighborhood.
The mosque is accessible to visitors and worshippers with separate prayer areas for men and women. It is located in the historic Triplicane neighborhood, making it easy to explore alongside other nearby cultural sites.
The building combines Mughal design principles with regional Tamil architectural influences, creating a distinctive style rarely seen elsewhere in the area. This blend of two architectural traditions makes it a notable example of religious construction in Chennai.
