Kazimar Big Mosque, Indo-Islamic mosque in Madurai, India.
The Kazimar Big Mosque features stone masonry craftsmanship, intricate carvings, and a large central dome accommodating 1,200 worshippers.
Built in 1284 AD by Kazi Syed Tajuddin, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad who migrated from Yemen and received land from King Kulasekara Pandiyan.
The mosque continues its centuries-old tradition of religious education through the Kazi Syed Tajuddin Arabi Madrasah, teaching Arabic to students.
The mosque stands near Madurai's central bus station, maintaining specific prayer times and requiring visitors to remove shoes and dress modestly.
For over seven centuries, the mosque management has remained within the Huqdar family, descendants of the original founder Kazi Syed Tajuddin.
