Jumma Masjid of Kilakarai, Historical mosque in Kilakarai, India
The Jumma Masjid features large domes and minarets that rise against the Tamil Nadu sky, incorporating traditional Islamic architectural elements throughout its structure.
The mosque, dating back to the early 7th century and rebuilt in 1036, stands as one of the earliest Islamic structures established in South India.
The mosque functions as a central gathering point for the Muslim community, hosting educational programs and social events that connect local residents.
Visitors can access the mosque daily for prayers, with the main congregation gathering occurring during Friday afternoon services at specified times.
The construction combines Islamic design principles with regional architectural elements, reflecting the influence of Yemeni traders who settled in ancient Pandya kingdom.
