Description:

Getting information on this mosque has been difficult as it appears there are two old mosques in Kilakarai and a larger modern mosque. If you live in Kilakarai and can visit this mosque and confirm it’s location, please leave a note at the bottom of this page in the comment section.

This small mosque is supposedly the oldest mosque in India. The current building is a small structure, that was rebuilt in 1036 CE, so the original qibla remains unknown. This mosque is often confused with the Palaiya Jumma Palli Mosque also in Kilakarai, India.
