Thousand Lights Shia Mosque - Mosque in Chennai - Chennai, India

This is a Shia Mosques most probably it was built before 1400 centuries. It has a study centre also. It was found rebuild several times. It is a memorised things of Muslim intervention in chenni, India alone with others.

No tickets. The watch men will accompany and shows around 200+ years old mosque and building.. Both men & women are allowed to enter the mosque but there is seperate path for women.

Beware that its a shia mosque I did visited it to see the sculpture without knowing though there were less people and i did prayed a little

Good place, women are not allowed inside the mosque, there is a separate queue via parda. It will take around 20 mins to cover this place

This is best Mosque in Chennai..all facilities available. But little more improvement has to be done ..After finishing majlis people are throwing..plastic glasses and paper tea cups on the floors.. Dustbins have to be keept in the areas. And while distribute majlis tabaruk..there is no proper arrangement to take the meal...I mean queue system should be followed. Volunteers should help the elderly to get the means.

Rien a voir avec les photos presentees dans les guides qui ont fait beaucoup de gros plan. Interet tres limite pour un touriste non pratiquant car impossible de tout voir. De plus la deco des 1000 lumiere est en guirlandes colorees type sapin de Noel, pas terrible. Non je ne recommande

Very well maintained. The Alam present here is more than 210 years old and it seems during olden times, there used to be 1000 lanterns present in the lawn to light up the place and that is why the name. It is a sacred place for Shia sect of muslims in Chennai. There are also wooden replicas of mausoleums of grand children of prophet.

The Thousand Light Shia Mosque is a very old and spectacular mosque. It is said that in the past, 1000 lamps were lit in this mosque for night light, hence the name of this place is Thousand Light.
