Ubudiah Mosque is a Royal Mosque that was built by the Late Sultan Idris Murshidul’adzam Shah. It was built in 1913 and completed afterward in 1917. Ubudiah Mosque is located at Bukit Chandan, Kuala Kangsar, Perak. The construction cost of the mosque was expensive, around $22,000 at that time.

The striking image of the mosque can never be disassociated with its grand Bulbous dome. Clad in gold-like yellow plating cresting with an attached pointed pinnacle. This projects an undulating look of the dome, right from the base and narrow drum. The main dome is flanked by numerous pointed domes of various sizes, shaping monumental views of arrays of floating domes.

Accompanying the main dome, the four octagonal minarets stand sturdily with its chattri-style balconies above. It is surmounted with an onion shaped dome with a deep eaves supported by trefoil arches. To match with the minarets, many smaller cupolas are placed at the mosque flat roof level, Similar to the minaret design, it is replaced with a group of thin pedestals that act as smaller minarets. The pristine beauty is further added to a series of crenelations lined up against the roof cornices.

With its monumental verticality approach, the architect added a series of marble horizontal bands, which can be seen on the minaret and across the mosque bulling. The Moorish influence is visibly noted on the horseshoe arches of the veranda area, which also used as an overspill prayer area. Across the veranda area, the Corinthian columns and pilasters are erected against the many rounded arches with the use at corbels and architraves.

Inside the main prayer hall, a different design atmosphere is seen and expressed with the use of as a series of horseshoe arch windows, finished in a rich interior decoration. Intricate plaster works of mounded cornice and ceiling dominates the space, with a grand centrepiece chandelier. A rounded arch of the qibla wall with a horseshoe arch denotes the mihrab niche: an elevated timber minbar pulpit is placed to its right.
