Keramat Palajau Mosque, Historical mosque in Palajau village, South Kalimantan, Indonesia

The mosque extends over 400 square meters and contains a prayer hall that accommodates up to 700 worshippers at once.

Built near the ancient Palayarum river, the mosque marks a 13th-century trading route that connected merchants through the Meratus mountains region.

The mosque maintains the Batumbang tradition during Eid celebrations, where infants place their feet on the pulpit steps for blessings.

Located 5 kilometers northwest of Barabai city, the mosque provides separate ablution facilities on both sides of the main building.

The structure features sharp peaks in its multi-tiered roof design, reflecting the traditional architectural elements of Kalimantan.
