Ubudiah Mosque, Royal mosque in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia
Four minarets with golden domes rise above the white marble structure, forming an octagonal design with Indo-Saracenic architectural elements in Bukit Chandan district.
Sultan Idris Murshidul'adzam Shah ordered the construction in 1913 after recovering from illness, but completion was delayed until 1917 due to marble damage and World War I.
The mosque demonstrates Malaysian Islamic architectural traditions through its detailed patterns, Italian marble bands, and central golden dome following Moorish design principles.
Located near the Perak royal mausoleum, the mosque provides daily prayer services and functions as a central religious gathering place in the royal town.
During construction, two royal elephants named Kulub Chandan and Kulub Gangga damaged imported Italian marble tiles, requiring a second order from Europe.
