This is a view of Nagore Durgha Shrine (also known as Masjid Moulana Mohammad Ally) located at 140, Telok Ayer Street, near the corner of Boon Tat Street (right). The mosque features tall minarets at each corner and arched doorways along the sides. Built between 1828 and 1830 by the Chulias, an Indian Muslim minority from South India, it was dedicated to Shahul Hamid, a holy man from Nagore in Southern India. The shrine, originally called "Shawal Hamid Durgha", was gazetted as a national monument by Preservation of Monuments Board on 19 November 1974. The mosque was boarded up and closed to the public in 1990s. After undergoing major restoration and redevelopment works, it was officially open as Nagore Dargah Indian Muslim Heritage Centre by President S.R. Nathan on 29 May 2011.
