Dian Al-Mahri Mosque, Golden dome mosque in Depok, Indonesia.
Dian Al-Mahri Mosque is a place of worship in Depok with three gold-coated domes and crystal mosaics. The interior shows columns, chandeliers and calligraphy in a Middle Eastern style, spread across several levels for worshippers.
Hajjah Dian Djuriah Maimun Al-Rasyid, a businesswoman from Banten, bought the land in 1996. Construction began in 2001 and finished around the end of 2006. The mosque opened to the public on 31 December 2006, the second Eid al-Adha that year, on a 50-hectare site.
The domes and towers show forms from the Arab world that are less common in West Java. Many visitors come to see the decoration and use the wide prayer spaces.
The complex is open daily and welcomes worshippers for prayer and visitors who want to see the building. The floors and stairs are designed for large groups and require modest clothing inside.
The imam's residence stands next to the main hall, with a separate area for receptions and administration. In the upper rooms hang items from European workshops that were delivered from Italy during construction.
