'''Thalangara''' is a part of [[Kasaragod Town]], the district headquarters of the [[Kasaragod district]] in the [[South India]]n state of [[Kerala]]. [[Malik Bin Deenar|Malik Deenar Jama Masjid]] and Dargah is located here. Its economy is dependent on remittance from expatriate workers in the [[Persian Gulf]], particularly [[Dubai]]. Thalangara consists of areas like Padinhar(Westyork), Kunnil, Kadavath ("ferry stand"), Khazilane, Nuppadamail, Bangod, Theruvath, and Korkode ("street" in Malayalam). The areas of Thalangara consist of smaller mohallas (localities) and each locality has its own [[mosque]] and [[madrassa]].

==Malik Deenar==
'''[[Malik Deenar]]''', [[Arabic]] '''مالك دينار ''' is said by Malabar Muslims to be the first generation follower of the Islamic [[prophet Muhammed]] who came to [[India]] to propagate [[Islam]] in the [[Indian Subcontinent]]. His grave is located at Thalangara which is consecrated inside a structure that was formerly a Tharavad of a local [[Tulu people|Tulu]] Chief.

==Malik Deenar Grand Juma Masjid==
'''[[Malik Deenar Mosque]]''', formally '''Malik Deenar Grand Juma Masjid''', is a mosque located about a kilometre from [[Kasaragod]], [[Kerala]], [[India]], on the coast. The mosque is dedicated to [[Malik Deenar]], who arrived from Arabia with his family on a mission to spread Islam on the coast of Kerala. It was originally built around 642. Years later, the mosque was reconstructed in 1809. In 2018, the Mosque was renovated under the guidance of T.A. Abdul Rahiman Haji (Nephew of Late K.S.Abdullah).

==[[Thalangara Thoppi]]==
Thalangara Thoppi is a traditional Muslim cap produced in Thalangara by hand. It was made in homes and was a thriving business generating large-scale employment. These caps even had an overseas market mainly in gulf and African countries. This industry played an important role in the economy of Thalangara. As mechanized production caps brought down market prices, handmade Thalangara caps were not able to compete, and the production has been significantly reduced in recent years.
