Putra Mosque, Pink granite mosque in Putrajaya, Malaysia

The Putra Mosque features a distinctive rose-colored dome constructed from granite, with architectural elements reflecting Persian, Islamic, and modern design influences.

The mosque, completed in 1999 at a cost of 80 million dollars, stands as a significant addition to Malaysia's religious architecture landscape.

The mosque's five-tiered minaret, reaching 116 meters in height, represents the five pillars of Islam and draws inspiration from Baghdad's Sheikh Omar Mosque.

The three-section religious complex accommodates 15,000 worshippers and includes a prayer hall supported by twelve pillars, educational facilities, and function rooms.

The mosque's location on the edge of Putrajaya Lake creates a natural cooling effect inside the building and reflects the structure in the water.
