Old Divehi Ganduvar in Minicoy. This beautiful heritage building is now demolished and replaced by a concrete structure which is still called Divehi Ganduvar. This residence was originally built by a Maldive rebel leader and Kateeb of Utheem island, Mohamed Bodu Thakurufan in the mid-16th century. Bodu Thakurufan and his brothers and followers rebelled against Andiri Andirin, the regent in Malé for the Hilaaly King Manoel Siri Dhirikusa Loka (previously known as Hassan IX). Based in Minicoy, Bodu Thakurufan and his rebels raided the Maldives and eventually captured Malé in 1573 and assassinated Andiri Andirin. Due to the collapse of an alliance with the Ali Raja of Cannanore, Thakurufan was later forced to enter into peace with the Hilaaly king, who lived in Goa. Thakurufan was consequently appointed co-regent along with his brother Hassan Thakurufan.
