The Tengquera Masjid, Melaka, Malaysia.
The masjid in Melaka which is one of the oldest in Malaysia bares a very unique experience to it. It is the most preferred tourist spot for most of the travelers coming to Melaka.
Just by viewing it from the outside, you feel you have gone back in time with peace & serenity touching your soul.
The mosque built in 1728 has a very different & unique style of architecture to it. The main prayer hall is cool as a place in hill station (which is a very rare place in Malaysia without an A/C). The walls bare witness to the changing history of the place & country. The Minaret which stands tall and straight with all its strength even after 285 yrs is an exemplary piece of work.
The pillars have paintings of ancient Malaysian art & look something similar to Arabian design with a combination of Chinese designs. The water storage place is so filled with purity.
The inside of the roof is fitted with wood which look so new even today.
Although the masjid looks small form outside the inside of it is an excellent, peaceful, satisfactory, serene, exciting & a beautiful experience to be in such a place.
Just spending time in the corridor looking at the beauty of the masjid would be enough for a person finding peace in his life.
A visit to the place would be incomplete for any history lover or infact any tourist going to Malaysia.
All thanks to The Almighty God who gave me a chance to visit this beautiful place.
Here are a few pictures of the place.
