Puthanangadi Mosque

Puthanangadi Mosque is a heritage mosque in Puthanangadi, in the Perinthalmanna side of Malappuram district. Unlike larger pilgrimage complexes, its tourism significance rests on a specific historic detail recorded by Malappuram District’s official tourism authority: ancient Arabic inscriptions are engraved on one of the mosque’s wooden planks. The district portal also places the mosque roughly twenty kilometres from Malappuram, underlining its position within the inland cultural landscape of the district rather than the better-known coastal centres.

For travellers interested in Islamic heritage, vernacular religious architecture and old inscriptions, Puthanangadi provides a more modest and less commercial experience than major festival destinations. Because the mosque is first and foremost a functioning place of worship, the historic feature should be approached respectfully and access to interior areas should never be assumed. Visitors are advised to avoid prayer times unless attending for worship and to seek local permission before photographing architectural or inscriptional details.
