Tranquil mosque & pilgrimage site that's host to the annual Festival of Kodikuthu. Sheikh Fariddudin Mosque or Kanjiramattom Mosque is located around 25 km away from Ernakulam. The mosque is said to be built on the place where the Islamic guru and saint Sheikh Fariddudin was entombed to rest. Thus the mosque is believed to be built in memory of him. Currently, it is one among the most prominent Muslim pilgrim centers in Kerala. Kanjiramattom Mosque is renowned in relation with Kanjiramattom Kodikuthu festival. Every year thousands of people - including tourists from foreign lands, come to Kanjiramattom just to participate in this festival. Though celebrated in a mosque, Kanjiramattom Kodikuthu is not considered as a Muslim festival alone but unlike other religious rituals and festivals, as a festival of all without any colors of religion. Thus the festival remains a great example for religious amity in Kerala. Kanjiramattom Kodikuthu is also known as Kanjiramattom Nercha. The Chandanakudam ritual is an invisible part of this festival. Procession of people carrying earthern pots covered with paste of sandalwood is one of the major highlights of this festival. While the folk performers and decorated elephants really add more flavors to this procession, Kanjiramattom Kodikuthu remains a great stage to enjoy people performing Duffmuttu and the Kolkali, the traditional Muslim art forms. Every year, Kanjiramattom Kodikuthu is celebrated on January 13 and 14. However, you should notice that the dates can be changed to one or two days more as the festival dates are decided as per the Malayalam Calendar and not based on the English Calendar.

Its very old and very memorical, historical place in india. Also a mosque to

The place is really peaceful and people comes here to offer many things to the visitors here. The people here are really nice . The only thing i found a bit annoying is the people who come here for begging. They are all around here , and they will follow you till you give them the money and sometimes they come asking for money twice or thrice even after you give them money. Except that's its a really nice place People from all religions visit here . And they find peace . There are seperate prayer rooms for women and it is really convenient there. Make sure to go on Sundays because there are lots of people coming that day to pray and there will be special prayers conducted here Hope you have a great visit .
