Built in 1908 by the Muslim community of Pettha, Jami-ul-Alfar Masjid is a beautiful mosque, one of the oldest in the city, made of red and white bricks. This emblematic building can be spotted from afar by its imposing mass, and its singular architecture is more reminiscent of an Indo-British style central station than a religious building. The mosque can only be visited outside of prayer hours, from Saturday to Thursday.

Mosquée très originale, qui vaut le coup d'oeil en passant devant.
Je suis arrivée pendant l'heure de la prière, j'ai attendu environ 30 minutes pour pouvoir entrer ... ce qui n'a pas servi à grand chose: les femmes ne peuvent rester que dans la cour. De toute manière, les étages réservés aux hommes mènent à des salles de prière basiques, dont rien d'exceptionnel là dedans. Merci au concierge qui m'a montré via les caméras de vidéosurveillance à quoi ressemblait l'intérieur, m'évitant une frustration inutile.
