26th JANUARY 2020 ~ There was this mosque near the hotel opposite the McD outlet just across the road. We decided to visit the holy building, Baitusyukur Mosque, after we finished breakfast.

There were only a few people doing their work there that morning. When I went into the main hall, I was welcomed and greeted by one of the locals and he even took me on a short tour around the mosque.
One interesting thing about this place was that there were seven mysterious/unidentified graves on the second floor of the building. It is believed that these graves were of the ancestors of the islander which had been there even before the mosque was constructed. There was effort to relocate the graves but it was in vain.
It was good as the mosque was clean and well taken care of, the way it should be done.
