Keydere
Mosque in the Hoadhadu district of Fuvah Mulaku. Many
old mosques such as this and others were not build aligned
to Mecca as mosques are. The possible reason is that
these were originally places of worship in pre-Islamic
times, converted to mosques
An
ancient stone bath near a the Keydere Mosque. Tha bath
has been drained and a circular well built inside it.
The well has been a more preferred means of communal
ablution in Islamic times. The bath was favoured in
pre-Islamic times
A
shrine, of the type known as ziyaaraiy containing
a tomb or occasionally a footstep of a folk saint, on
the north western side of Fuvah Mulaku. Locals and people
from as far as Addu and Huvadhu visit Gen Mosque and
this ziyaaraiy to fulfill their vows. It is believed
that the saint associated with the ziyaaraiy
would intercede on behalf of the supplicant. The group
of people in this picture do not look like pilgrims
