First Glimpse of Kevada Masjid |
The Cenotaph |
I clicked these pictures from outside of the fenced compound and could see a lone caretaker sitting there. He saw me climbing the fence and was about to shout, but stopped when he realised that I was not jumping over it but only trying to get a good angle for my picture. I waved at him and asked as to where the actual entrance to the compound is. He pointed the direction and I came over to the main entrance.

Just as one enters the compound, we see a gigantic Cenotaph but not before climbing few steps.next to the steps there is a water tank. But unfortunately it was fully dried up.

Front of Kevada Masjid |
There are two minarets on either side of the central arched entrance which has intricate cravings where niches are filled with floral and geometrical designs.

In its original form the mosque had three domes built above the prayer hall.
The largest central dome built above the prayer hall had collapsed.
Collapsed dome |
but if you ask me, this collapsed dome was highlight of this Mosque, after all it gives you a fantastic angle to shoot the photo 😍😍😍😍 . Believe me the photo shown below was one of the reason I was here 😃
In the prayer hall I saw this niche in the wall with floral design around it, Though I was in the mosque but the design had more of hindu culture.

It was time to move out so I bid adieu to the Kevada Masjid but not before clicking few last pictures of the towering Cenotaph.
