Greatness lies Not in never falling but in rising everytime we fall
It was constructed when Prophet was alive. Kerala tourism brochure will give the full history and dates etc. The only mosque in the world facing EAST!!!!!!

Who would have thought! I'm from kerala, but never knew this! And from the picture it seems so well maintained! Any idea what year this was constructed?
