Jonakapuram Juma Masjid

Jonakapuram Juma Masjid is located in the Jonakapuram and Pallithottam part of Kollam, close to the city’s old maritime zone. Kollam has had deep commercial contact with West Asia for centuries, and Muslim communities became an enduring part of the port city’s social and trading history. The mosque is therefore best understood not only as an active place of worship but also within the broader multicultural story of Kollam, where temples, churches, mosques and colonial monuments stand relatively close to one another.

Visitors interested in local heritage can combine the area with Kollam Beach, Thangassery and the old city. As this is a functioning mosque, non-worship visitors should be sensitive to prayer times, dress modestly, avoid entering restricted areas without permission and seek local guidance before photographing the interior or congregation.
