Walk

During
our walk we had covered this Mosque also, apart from Hindu Temples and
Churches.
HISTORY AND INSCRIPTIONS
This
inscription was estampaged and recorded by Pulavar Se. Raju, when he was worked
with Thanjavur Tamil University. This inscription is recorded in
Indo-moslemica, 1938 and Annual report on Epigraphy (B) 303 & 304 of 1939.
This is the first Mosque built in Indo – Saracenic Style in Tamil Nadu.
After renovations it is not looking like Indo Saracenic style and also it was
learnt this has been converted as Dargah. In the inscription plaque, they
thanked Se. Raju for identifying the details of this mosque. Now the
inscription was completely covered with tiles.
As per the inscription this Mosque was built and completed on 3rd August 1653 AD by one Rustam and his father Asthirabath Dhul-fikr, who worked under Nawab Janablath-Ul-Mulki Mir Muhammed, the representative of Golconda, during this period Madras was under the rule of Golconda King, Hajrat Alampanna Sultan Abdullah Syed.
