Kampung Kling Mosque is one
of the most recognizable landmark in Melaka due to its
design which has a grand multi-tiered meru roof which
are known to exist only in Hindu temples. Located in
Chinatown in Melaka, the watch tower styled minaret
which is part of this mosque is built under the Sumatran
and Javanese influences since this structure is typical
of most mosques in Sumatra. Also known as Masjid Kampung
Kling, this mosque is the location of the Mandi Safar
which is a bathing festival celebrated by the Muslims
during the month of Safar.
