Mishkal Masjid


A 650-year-old mosque in Kuttichira, Kozhikode, showcases unique Islamic-Temple architecture and serves as a historic symbol of unity and cultural heritage.

Mishkal Masjid, a 650-year-old architectural marvel in Kuttichira, Kozhikode, stands as a testament to resilience, unity, and cultural harmony. This four-storeyed mosque, named after the Arab merchant Nakhooda Mishkal, blends the simplicity of traditional Islamic design with the intricate elements of temple architecture, creating a truly unique structure. Unlike typical mosques, it has no minarets or cupolas, but instead showcases elegant wooden carvings, Mihrab-style doors, and a beautifully crafted wooden Mimbar, each telling its own story of devotion and craftsmanship.

The mosque's entrance, paved with Italian tiles, leads to a spacious prayer hall capable of accommodating up to 300 worshippers. Its design reflects not only the spiritual but also the communal ethos of the region, making it a cherished landmark in Kozhikode. Mishkal Masjid also holds a legacy of resilience, having been partially damaged during an attack in the 16th century and later restored, embodying the spirit of perseverance and solidarity.

Kuttichira, the neighborhood surrounding Mishkal Masjid, offers further glimpses into Kozhikode's rich heritage. The Jama Palli, with its circular design, and the Muchundi Palli (Muchundi Mosque), steeped in history, are nearby treasures worth exploring. Each corner of Kuttichira weaves a story of cultural confluence and historical significance, making a visit to Mishkal Masjid and its surroundings a journey through time and tradition.
