Putra Mosque

Putra Mosque the pink building is opposite Perdana Putra.
The Putra Mosque is the biggest mosque in Putrajaya, and one of its most prominent landmarks. Sitting as if afloat on Putrajaya Lake. From the Cruise Terminal this place reminds you to somewhere in Turkey or an old Indian Muslim Palace.
Putra Mosque is named in honor of our former and first Prime Minister of Malaysia Almarhum (The Late) Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra AlHaj.
It is one of the top symbols in Putrajaya which is located beside Dataran Perdana and in front of Putrajaya Lake.
The construction of this mosque began in June 1997 at the cost of MYR 250 million. It took 2 years to complete the building of the mosque.
This mosque was build based on two concepts which are Middle East and Malay Tradition.
Putra Mosque's Islamic-architecture artistically blends traditional designs, local craftsmanship and the use of indigenous materials.
Incorporating Malaysian, Persian and Arab-Islamic architectural designs, the main entrance to the mosque is fashioned in the likeness of public building gates in Muslim Persia.
