Home » DESTINATIONS » KOROME MOSQUE
The Korome Mosque is believed to be constructed about 300 years ago for the local
Muslim community by Thonder Nambiar, a local Nair gentry. The annual Uroos festival of
the Mosque draws pilgrims from all communities and the Korome Mosque is seen as a
marvelous example for communal harmony. Built in the vernacular architectural style, the
two storied structure has a masonry wall and tiled roofing. The extended eaves and the full
width balcony in the first floor of the building deserve special mention. The woodcarvings
in the building are similar to the carvings of temples of Kerala
The location of the Mosque is at Korome, about 25 km west of Mananthavady, beside the
Mananthavady- Kuttiyadi road near Korome
