This is an important pilgrim centre of the Muslims of Kerala. The four day annual festival at the mosque (nercha) is celebrated in April. Adjoining the mosque is the mausoleum of the Malappuram Shaheeds (martyrs) whose brave exploits have been immortalised in the Mappila ballads.

The Jama-at- Mosque, two hundred and eighty years of age, wears a quaint look. The décor involves pristine white colored walls coupled with azure hued doors. The aesthetics of the mosque displays the intricacies of a Hindu shrine. This is again related to the historical background of the mosque. The construction of the mosque is attributed to one Prana Nambi clan. It is believed that the aforementioned royal dynasty had seized the lands of Muslims and were stricken by a bout of a mysterious ailment. It was considered to be a curse and to ward off the bad luck, the Jama-at- mosque was erected.
