Architecture
The mosque architecture is similar to a temple architecture, however, the mosque does not have idol carving on the pillars or walls. The mihrab is on the wall of inner mosque which is unique identification of mosques for identifying the direction of prayer towards kaaba. The mihrab was exactly towards kaaba, and it's also proof of early navigation system followed here. The name pallavasal means worship place, with many door access, the Tamil name of the mosque. == Gallery ==
