The red mosque painted in distinctive red and white stripes is the most beautiful landmark in the area. The mosque can be easily reached by both bus and tuk-tuk. Visitors regardless of gender and religion can visit the mosque during certain timings. Remember to dress modestly. The mosque is surrounded by the always crowded Pettah Market.
Still quite beautiful, although the open area is very small, after all, it can still go in, and there is no charge, much better than other reasons for money, very distinctive, very beautiful photos
Jami-Ul-Alfar The mosque is located in the noisy Beta market. Mosques around the world are mostly white and blue, but this mosque is red and white, very unique, very beautiful, and very large in scale. It was Friday when many Muslims were quietly kneeling and praying. It is said that non-Muslims are prohibited from entering the temple of worship in Islam, and even Muslims must be cleansed before entering. Sri Lankans are 69% Buddhist, 15% Hindu, 8% Christian and 7% Islamic. There are temples of all sizes and sizes everywhere in the country, and there is an Indian temple near this mosque.
It’s through the Beta market, but the geographical location is really far from the imagination. Such a magnificent mosque is actually next to the small market street. The mosque is also more than 100 years old and only allows men to enter, and women must wear knee-length skirts or trousers when entering the gate.
