It is located in Mosque Street (also called Pallivaasal Street; pallivaasal in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] means &quot;[[mosque]]&quot;).<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> This mosque got its name when it was originally built in the land donated by local philanthropist in 1936 and through donations from Indian immigrants from [[British Malaya|Malaya]] (now [[Malaysia]]) and French Indochina (now Vietnam). Donations were collected mainly by Pitchai Ghani Rawuthar and Ave Mohamed Yusuf (both now deceased). <br /> <br /> This mosque was then re-built in 1990 by Ave Mohamed Yusuf&#039;s son, Ave Abdul Hameed with his own funds without any donations from the public. However, Ave Abdul Hameed&#039;s son Ave Abdul Bachir had said that he had donated US$100,000 (approximately evquivilant to about 4 Million Indian Rupees then) in a single payment from Switzerland towards the reconstruction of this mosque. No other reliable donation details within the Ave&#039;s family or his other children were available while he was still alive after the construction of this mosque.<br /> <br /> This mosque still retains the name Mohaideen Andawar Mosque or Mohaideen Andawar Jamea Masjid. This is one of the biggest mosques (with a unique large dome similar like Prophet [[Muhammad]]&#039;s Mosque in [[Medina]], [[Saudi Arabia]]) in [[Nagapattinam district]] of [[Tamil Nadu]], India.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Islam in India]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Mosques in Tamil Nadu]]<br /> [[Category:Mosques completed in 1936]]<br /> [[Category:Buildings and structures in Nagapattinam district]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{India-mosque-stub}}</div>
