Here is the mosque of Kampung Laut, an olden mosque built totally out of timber without the use of any nails and such...
This mosque to me is so splendid despite its apparent simplicity that I believe I have done a few pieces on it in my blogspots. For example, have a look at the old articles
Masjid Kampung Laut, enough said! and
Latest pictures of the famous Masjid (mosque) of Kampung Laut in Kelantan... For a brief information on the mosque, read this...
A story of how the mosque was relocated from it's original location at Kampung Laut some 6 km north-east of Kota Bahru...
On the design...
The tower for calling out
azan or the call to prayers...
A look at the three-tiered roofing system...
I went inside and saw this door open...
So I decided to have a look at what's inside...
For the first time ever, I climbed up the
azan tower. Here is a view of the university hostel nearby...
One could get a good look of the topmost part of the mosque's main roof at this level...
The university campus in front seen from the next level...
And a look at the car I arrived in. For the record the whole carpark area seen here used to be outside the mosque compound. Now, the outer walls have been expanded to included this piece of land...
Time to get to the topmost level of the tower...
Had a nice snap of the topmost main roof...
And now, a better look at it...
Part of the mosque complex, its left side that is...
The front side and the main compound...
This latest trip also made me more particular with the architecture and interior design...
A certain wooden part potruding out of the roof inside the main praying hall. It actually extends to the topmost part as seen from the
azan tower.
Some of the wood-carvings alongside...
The back left-side part...
A last look at the mosque. That's all. For the record, this is the 262nd posting in this blogspot, a mulitple of the number 131 which carries a certain meaning to me. So I would rest from making any new postings here for a while ya. That's all... cheers everyone! :]
