Masjid Wustho Mangkunegaran, Royal mosque near Mangkunegaran Palace in Surakarta, Indonesia

The mosque features a three-tiered pyramid roof topped with a mustaka finial and stands on four central pillars with twelve supporting posts.

Construction of the mosque began in 1878 and reached completion in 1918, with renovations by architect Thomas Karsten during the colonial period.

The mosque received its name Al-Wustho in 1949, meaning 'average' in reference to its size between the Great Mosque and Kepatihan Mosque.

The complex includes separate prayer halls for men and women, with the main hall connected to a roofed front porch containing a large ceremonial drum.

A 25-meter octagonal minaret from 1926 stands northeast of the main building, while a special maligen structure hosted royal circumcision ceremonies.
