Facing the gorgeous Putrajaya Lake, the Putra Mosque is a pink-domed monument created with rose-tinted granite. A picture of beauty and grandeur, it can hold a total of 15,000 people at any one time. It is modeled after Persian Islamic architecture from the Safavid dynasty.

The best time to visit the mosque is when the sun is just about to set and the pink of the dome blends into the golden-pink hues of the sky. Located in Putrajaya, Malaysia, the majestic building has a unique fusion of the old and the new – it is made in traditional style but borrows a slight modernised craftmanship. A must-see of Malaysia.
