Bollywood actor Naseer Uddin Shah recently shared a captivating picture of a rather unique mosque he spotted during a trip abroad.
He took to Instagram to post a picture of the mosque and wrote, “The most interesting looking mosque I’ve ever seen, obviously designed by Portuguese or Dutch architects in Galle.”
The mosque does not have the traditional dome or minaret that are usually a part of mosques around the world. It does sport what looks like two towers instead of a minaret.
The mosque is the Meeran Mosque built inside the iconic Galle Fort in Galle. It was built in 1904 and is named after Meeran Sahib, an Indian Muslim saint whose devotees were mainly sailors.
