Bihuroazu Kamanaa Mosque, Islamic prayer building in Malé, Maldives
The mosque exhibits traditional Maldivian architectural design with coral stone walls and intricate carvings throughout its structure.
Constructed before the reign of Sultan Muhammad Thakurufaanu al-Auza in the 16th century, the mosque was originally named Bihuroazu Fashana kalo Mosque.
The name 'Bihuroazu' originates from Persian language meaning 'prosperous', indicating historical connections between Maldivian and Persian civilizations.
The mosque stands next to Sultan Muhammad Thakurufaanu's mausoleum and maintains restrictions on outdoor prayers due to nearby grave locations.
In 2017, the mosque faced potential demolition for a 12-story building project, leading to significant community efforts for its preservation.
