Putra Mosque is a prominent waterfront mosque in Putrajaya distinguished by its rose-tinted granite dome and 116-meter tall minaret. The structure was constructed using rose-colored granite to achieve its characteristic pink hue, which is reflected in the waters of Putrajaya Lake. Designed to accommodate 15,000 worshippers at once, the mosque integrates architectural elements from Middle Eastern and traditional Malay designs. Its basement level features a large prayer hall, classrooms, and a multi-purpose hall. The minaret is inspired by the Sheikh Omar Mosque in Baghdad. The building is partially built over the lake, creating an appearance of floating on the water. It serves as a focal point for the federal administrative center of Malaysia.
