Bayur Central Mosque
Urban and Architectural
The architecture of the mosque combines the shape of pagoda of Thailand and the 'gonjong' roof form of Minangkabau traditional house (Gadang House). The combination can be seen in a small tower located on four main corners. Similarly, the structure of the roof is designed to follow the pattern of the traditional building with three-tiered roof.
Interior of the mosque contains some notable ornaments. The walls of the mosque are lined with carved planks painted with dark color compositions. So are the buffer pillars of the mosque. The pillars made of the wall are decorated with soft colors that match the paint scheme of the walls of the mosque.
At the front of the mosque, there is an open space equipped with a fountain. While at the back of the mosque room there is a fish pond, and on the both sides of the fish pond there are places for wudu.
