The Zeenath Baksh Juma Masjid (lit. ''Mosque that reflects beauty''), commonly known as Masjid Zeenath Baksh, and also known as Beliye Palli, is the third oldest mosque in India and the oldest in the state of Karnataka, constructed in AH 22 (642/643 CE). The mosque is located in the Bunder area in the city of Mangalore and is known for its pure Indian style, reminiscent of Dravidian architecture.
The mosque was established by the family of sahabah of Muhammad, and is of exceptional importance to Muslims in the region.[1]
