Nainaru Mosque, Kanjirapally

Kanjirappally is heavily populated with Muslims, who are again migrants from other regions. The attraction, Nainaru Mosque, attracts thousands of pilgrims every year. It is one of the pilgrim hotspots for many Muslims. The migration of this community started through the mountain passes of Kumily. The greater numbers hailed from the regions of Puliyangudi and Tenkasi in southern Pandinad. They are also settlers like the earlier Hindu migrants, who had come and settled in this region. Their place of worship was the Pichapally Medu Palli and subsequently, they built the Nainaru for worship.

The mosque is located 39 km off Kottayam-Kumily Road. This shrine was built to commemorate a Muslim saint who had become a devotee of the Hindu God Ayyappan.
