                                         Kari Masjid @Mambra-Mattathur

Kari Family Masjid is located at Mambra-MATTATHUR - MUNAMBATH,. It was built at least  300 years ago.

Referring to the history of the Mosque,one of the six martyrs of Cheroor -freedom- Struggle  (occurred in 1849 against the British)  had set out for the ‘challenge’ after performing his Subuh (morning)  prayers in the Kari  Masjid. Every year the anniversary of this event has been observed in this mosque .

Over the past,once,it was well known as a great center for  Islamic teachings .

Many Great Schlaors like O.K zainudheen Kutty Musliyar had been  running Islamic classes here .

Kari Masjid has been kept in its original shape to remark its  history and to protect its heritage as a monument.

.Now  the caretakers of the masjid -who are from Kari Family -are in efforts to do a major renovation for the masjid as soon as possible.
