Beautiful 14th-century temple and a second temple near a very big pond and vegetable market. The temple walls are elephant-shaped.
600-year-old structure. Beautiful pond surrounded by several old buildings. The mosque is very photogenic only when you look from the other side of the pond. This four level mosque is built mostly of wood. The mosque has no cupolas or minarets and looks like a Hindu temple. Maybe, Kerala’s temple architecture influenced the architecture of old mosques in Kerala which have gopuram-style entrance arches and no minarets. Non-Muslims need a special permission to enter the mosque.
