The pink-domed Masjid Putra extends out of the western shore of the Putrajaya Lake giving it a floating look. The mosque consists of three main functional areas – the prayer hall, the “Sahn” or courtyard, learning facilities and function rooms. The prayer hall is simple and elegant, supported by 12 columns. The highest point below the dome is 2500 feet above ground level. The “Sahn”, landscaped with several decorative water features and bordered by colonnades, provide extended prayer space. An impressive minaret built in five tiers, stands 116m tall – the tallest minaret in the region. The mosque, which can accommodate 15,000 worshippers at any o­ne time also houses a VIP room, library, Al-Quran Manuscript Museum, auditorium, exhibition foyer and a seminar room.
