The story

The Muhyaddin Juma Masjid at Nellikunnu in Kasaragod district is a Sunni Friday mosque and dargah, dedicated to the saint Muhyddin Abdul Qader Jeelani. The date it was built is not clear, but the Muslim community of Nellikunnu and its surroundings traces its history to this mosque.

Inside is the tomb of the saint Thangal Uppapa, which makes the mosque one of the pilgrimage centres of Kasaragod. Large numbers of devotees come during the Nercha held in his honour. The Thangal Uppapa Uroos, marking the saint's death, is held once every two years, usually in the month of Dhul Hijjah.
