Madayi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madayi is a small place in Kannur district, Kerala, South India. It is located near Payangadi.

Madayi is well-known for the Malik Ibn Dinar mosque. This beautiful ancient mosque is believed to have been originally built by Malik Ibn Dinar, a Muslim preacher. A block of white marble in the mosque is believed to have been brought from Mecca by its founder, who came to India to spread the word of the Prophet. Near by, lies a dilapidated fort believed to have been built by Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore.

The Madayi temple is also located here.
