Perak Attractions
Ubudiah Mosque
Located at Bukit Chandan, Kuala Kangsar, the Ubudiah
Mosque is reputed to be one of the most beautiful mosques in the
country and a symbol of pride and faith for all Muslims in Perak.
The mosque's magnificent golden dome and minarets are testaments
to the beauty of Islamic architecture.
The construction of the mosque began in the reign
of Sultan Idris Murshidul Adzam Shah I, the 28th Sultan of Perak,
but was interrupted a number of times. Once, when two elephants
belonging to Sultan Idris and Raja Chulan ran over the imported
Italian marble floor, and again during the first World War. The
mosque was officially opened by Sultan Jalil Karaamatullah Shah
in 1917.
