INTRODUCTION:
• The mosque architecture of Kerala exhibit none of the features of the
Arabic style nor those of
the Indo-Islamic architectures of the imperial or provincial school in north
India.
• The reason for this is not far to seek.
• The work of mosque construction was done by the local artisans under
instructions of the
Muslim religious heads who wanted to erect the places of worship.
• The models for places of worship were only temples or the theatre halls
(koothambalam) and
these models are to be adapted for the new situations.
• The early mosques in Kerala consequently resembles the traditional
building of the region.
