According to the traditional definition, a mosque is just a place of prayer for Muslims, but that is not the intention. It should have served as a complex, social, and cultural structure for Muslim people. Though the contemporary facts will go against this argument, it should be kept in mind that the definition of a mosque shows that it should be an organization that contributes actively to the growth of the Muslim groups in the city. This paper intends to discuss the functional approach of mosque elements and their role in contemporary time and discuss the significance of Architectural symbolism in mosque design in the Indian context.
