Ubudiah
Ubudiah Mosque, or Masjid Ubudiah, is a royal mosque in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Malaysia. It was commissioned by Sultan Idris Murshid Shah in the early 20th century as a symbol of royal prestige and Islamic heritage. Construction began in 1913 and was completed in 1917. The project was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback, a British architect known for his work on several mosques and public buildings in the Federated Malay States, and it was executed in a Moorish Revival style that blends Ottoman and Mughal influences with local Malay architectural traditions. The mosque is noted for its whitewashed exterior and a gilded dome, with slender minarets rising behind the main prayer hall.
Situated near Kuala Kangsar’s royal precinct, Ubudiah Mosque quickly became one of Perak’s most recognizable landmarks
Today, Ubudiah Mosque functions as a working place of worship and as a prominent cultural heritage site.
