Cheraman Juma Masjid, Historic mosque in Kodungallur, India
The Cheraman Juma Mosque features traditional Kerala architectural elements with numerous hanging lamps throughout its interior spaces.
Built in 629 CE by Malik Bin Dinar, the structure underwent reconstruction in the 16th century after Portuguese forces destroyed it in 1504.
The mosque maintains close connections with local Hindu temples, demonstrating the religious harmony between Muslim and Hindu communities in Kerala.
The religious building stands along the Paravur-Kodungalloor Road and received substantial structural modifications in 1984, including new corridors.
According to regional accounts, the mosque originated after King Cheraman Perumal converted to Islam following his observation of a lunar phenomenon.
