The Pink Mosque is located in Putrajaya, the new administrative center of Malaysia. Three-quarters of the entire mosque is built on Lake Brat, also known as the Water Mosque. It's visually stunning thanks to its pink dome topped with granite. The construction of the mosque started in 1997 at a huge cost and can accommodate 15,000 people. The exterior is all pink, quite soft in color, and built with a lot of rose marble. The mosque has nine domes and can reach a height of 50 meters. Standing on Prince Edward Square is a good spot to photograph the exterior of the mosque. Between the blue sky, white clouds and clear water, the pink sanctuary is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. It is not like the Forbidden City in Beijing, as red as a red flame rose. This mosque is more like a pink holy lotus blooming on the water, with a clear rhythm and a pure dream. The mosque is mainly composed of three parts: the prayer hall, the big minaret and the mausoleum. The roof of the hall looks like an open umbrella. It consists of 49 large and small round arches with 18 radiating stars, representing the 13 states of the country and the five commandments of Islam. The shape of the spire of the big minaret is like a rocket, the whole tower is 73 meters high, and there are elevators and stairs leading to the upper end. The mausoleum is built behind the mosque, where only the national heroes of Islam are buried. Most of the people who came to the mosque were tour groups from China and India. Because of time constraints, most of these tour groups just took pictures on the outside. If you are an independent tourist, you can visit it if you have enough time, because the interior of the mosque is actually more magnificent than the dreamy appearance. There is a red sign at the entrance of the mosque that says that non-Muslims, women who are menstruating and children under the age of five are not allowed to enter the prayer hall. All visitors must be properly dressed and not revealing when entering. Quiet loud noises in the temple, no smoking. Therefore, whether it is a boy or a girl, you can get a red or blue robe for free at the entrance, wear it on your body, and wear a hat at the same time. Girls can't show their hair, and there will be staff reminding them all the time. In addition, the shoes must also be taken off, you can put them on the rack specially for shoes, just remember where you put them. After entering, there will be a staff member who will explain it for free. Photography is prohibited in the prayer hall, please strictly abide by it. There are no idols in the temple, because Muslims do their prayers in the direction of Mecca. The mosque is divided into two floors, the second floor can be used exclusively by 4,000 women, and the downstairs can be used by 8,000 men. Muslims will worship at a certain time every day. At this time, the sound of the Koran played in the high minaret of the mosque lingers melodiously in the sky above the mosque, which is very pleasant. The design of the mosque is quite environmentally friendly. The prayer hall is very spacious. There are 12 pillars in it. The center of the pillars is a vacuum design. When the weather is hot, the motor at the bottom of the lake can be pumped into the interior, so it will feel slightly cool when entering the mosque. In addition, you can also see some Koran decorations in the temple, and there is a yellow explanatory diagram on the wall, telling people the correct mode of worship. In addition, the mosque has an auditorium with a capacity of 380 people and two classrooms, where lectures and lectures can be held. If you are hungry, there is also a mosque restaurant here, which can be used for tourists to eat and also to hold some religious events.
