The Khutba Periya Palli, also known as the Al Jami'ul Kabeer (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) and as the Periya Khutba Palli, is a Friday mosque, located in Kayalpattinam, in the Thoothukudi district of the state of Tamil Nadu, India.
History[edit | edit source]
The mosque was built in 842 CE by Muhammad Khalji,[1][2] and was re-constructed in Template:AH by Sultan Sayyid Jamaluddin.[3][4] In 2021, it was reported that the mosque was again being re-constructed.[5][better source needed]
Architecture[edit | edit source]
The mosque along with the others in the town, is one of the greatest examples how Dravidian architecture influenced on Islamic architecture.[6] The mosque has the special name "Aayirangal Thoon Palli".[citation needed] There is a large cemetery located adjacent to the mosque, that contains the tombs of the Malabar Sultans, an independent Muslim sultanate also called the Madhurai Sultanate, established during the 14th century on the Coromandel Coast and lasted for less than 50 years before it was terminated by the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire.[6] It is claimed that 25,000 saints were buried in the cemetery.[3]
