The Mohidden Mosque, also known as the Ujra Mosque, is a mosque located on Kavaratti Island in Lakshadweep, a territory of India. A well in the precinct of the mosque contains water with reportedly curative powers.[1]

## Overview

[edit]

The Mohidden Mosque lies to the northwest of the island. The 17th century structure has an ornate ceiling, said to have been carved out of a single of driftwood.[1] The mosque's pillars are also intricately carved. According to a local legend, inspiration for the intricate driftwood carvings was drawn from the leaf of a plant. When the carver thought of recreating it in his house, a piece of wood hit his eyes and he lost his sight.[2]

Sheikh Mohammad Kasim's grave is located in the mosque and is revered by the islanders.
