This mosque, 25 km from Kochi, is believed to have been built as
a memorial to Sheikh Fariduddin. The festival of ' Kodikuthu' commences
on January 2 . During the ' Chandanakkudam' ritual held at night,
pilgrims carrying pots covered with sandalwood paste proceed in a
procession to the mosque. Six caparisoned elephants and folk performances
accompany the procession. Traditional Muslim art forms like Oppana
and Mappilappattu are also staged during the festival. Kochi is well
connected by rail and road to different other tourist places in India
and also has an airport.
