It was established by the Chulias (Tamil Muslims from the Coromandel Coast of South India) in 1826 and is one of the earliest mosques in Singapore. Together with its neighbour, Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple, the mosque stands out in the middle of China Town. It is a stone throw away from both the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and a Christian church.

A green mosque and then after service hop over to the blue Restaurant for some Taj cuisine. 


Not unlike here actually..I mean we have Tim Horton ' s next to a few Catholic churches here. Tim's is a coffee/donut shop but they also serve breakfast and soup/sandwich for lunch.

"It is a stone throw away from both the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and a Christian church"

Is that a form of interconfessional dialogue there? (throwing stones)

And look: both towers are reforested. Your work?

Yes, that was my first project.

Nice! I see a true talent in it.

Green colour is also yours, I presume?
