Palembang Grand Mosque Or The Great Mosque of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Jayo Wikramo is the largest mosque in the city of Palembang , South Sumatra . This mosque was founded in the 18th century by Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Jayo Wikramo . Currently, the Great Mosque of Palembang has become a regional Mosque in the ASEAN region. This mosque occupies a complex of 15,400 square meters, where it is one of Palembang’s original Malay and Arab villages that have been inhabited for a long time.

This mosque is influenced by 3 architectures namely Malay , Chinese and European. The typical style of Nusantara architecture is the pattern of the three-tiered main building structure with the top shaped like a limas. The third tier which is the top of the mosque or mustaka has steps carved with tropical flowers. At the end of the mustaka there is a mustaka with a cracked flower pattern. The shape of the steps of the mosque building was influenced by the basic building of the Hindu-Javanese temple, which was later absorbed by the Great Mosque of Demak. A characteristic feature of European architecture is found in the appearance of large and tall mosque windows. The pillars of the mosque are large and give a solid impression. Building materials such as marble and glass are imported directly from Europe. While Chinese architecture is seen from the main mosque with a limas-shaped roof, consisting of three floors. On the upper side of the roof ridge there is a fringe of simbar leaves resembling a curved goat’s horn. Each side of the limas has 13 jurai. The shape of the jurai is curved and sharp. This form is the shape of the rooftemple. This mosque used to be the largest mosque in Indonesia for several years.  The mosque’s current form is the result of a renovation in 2000 and was completed in 2003. Megawati Soekarnoputri was the one who inaugurated this giant modern South Sumatran mosque.
