Taiping Indian Muslim Mosque

Taiping Indian Muslim Mosque (4 February, 2006)


Taiping Indian Muslim Mosque (GPS: 4.84751, 100.73434), also called Masjid India Jalan Kota, is the place of worship of the Indian Muslim community of Taiping. As its name suggests, it is located at Jalan Kota. They came to settle in the Larut district and built their mosque at Kota, which is on the southern end of the old Taiping town, and engaged in the textile trade, as well as in grains and Indian cattle. The Keling Mosque is dedicated to the wali of Nagore, and is called Masjid Mohammedan Hanafi Nagore. The site was obtained through an agreement signed in 1908 between the mosque's trustees and the acting British Resident of Perak, E.L. Brockman, upon approval of the Sultan of Perak.

The present structure dates back to 1969, when its foundation stone was laid. It was officially open on 1 July 1973 by the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Idris al-Mutawakkil Allahi, at which time, it was given the name India Mosque.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
