This mosque is famous as a cultural icon and an architectural gem for all Sri Lankans and the Muslims. Its red and white contrasting design stimulates the sight of the people that pauses them and gets admiration. It is the effort and the example of the dedication of its pioneer engineers who created the mosque with so much elegance.

The local people call this mosque as “Rathu Pallyia” in Sinhalese. And also known in Tamil as “Samankottai Palli”. The Red mosque isn’t the Colombo Grand Mosque. Hundreds of worshippers join each other at the main street inside the mosque for the mandatory Friday prayers. At its entrance, a few men sell tiny glass bottles of perfumes and prayer caps collected from the Middle East.
