Putra Mosque

Putra Mosque is a principal religious landmark beside Putrajaya Lake and Putra Square. Its official Malay and English history pages give different construction milestones, so this record treats the building phase broadly as the late 1990s and uses 30 August 2000 as the date official use began. Putra Mosque is named in honour of Malaysia’s first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, and stands beside Putra Square overlooking Putrajaya Lake.

Its own history pages describe a late-1990s building programme and combine regional Islamic references with Malay design. Because the Malay and English versions of the official history give different start milestones, the record states that discrepancy rather than inventing a single precise construction date.

Pink-domed mosque combining Middle Eastern, traditional Malay, Safavid and Moorish design influences. The building’s primary purpose is Muslim congregational worship. Non-worshipping visitors should follow the mosque’s current guidance on modest clothing and access, avoid prayer periods or restricted areas when requested, and treat tourism as secondary to the religious life of the site.
