Athar Jamad Masjid
Athar Jamad Masjid ( (アラビア語:اثار جماعة المسجد) ; (タミル語:அத்தார் ஜமாத் மஸ்ஜித்) ; also known as ''The Big Mosque'' ) is located at Oppanakara Street and Town Hall within the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu in India. One of the oldest and biggest masjid in Coimbatore. It is a living testimony of city’s history.
==History and construction==
Perfume merchants named Athar who migrated from Tirunelveli, built this monumental structure. It took 44 years for completion. It was in 1860 when the construction works commenced and finished in 1904. This strong structure made up of limestone and mortar and polished with egg white. The facade is covered with cusped arches surrounding the open courtyard where the prayer halls stand. There is a covered ablution pond in the south-eastern corner and a small library on the eastern side. There’s also a kitchen that prepares ''nonbu kanji'' (rice soup),〔(The Hindu : Tamil Nadu / Tiruchi News : ‘Nonbu Kanji,’ a noble thing that paves way for communal harmony )〕 in fasting period during Ramzan month. Hawkers line the entrance with their colorful amulets and items of worship.
According to the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), the two minars, with domed roofs, on the northern and southern sides, are 85 feet high. This pair of silver domes stands out in the skyline of Town Hall area. In better climes they could well have been the gates of heaven (also called as Jannah). These had crafted with wrought-iron hide behind cluttered cables lining Oppanakara Street. The gates tower up to the stained glass and four minarets above. One of the most worshiped Islamic dargah with approximately 2000 worshippers assembles for the Friday prayers.
