The largest mosque in Surakarta. It was once the main royal mosque of Kasunanan Surakarta and located west of kindom main square (alun-alun). Funfact, this mosque are larger than Jama Masjid in Delhi, India in term of area. The architecture of the mosque is different than in the Middle East and South Asia. The main roof are not dome shape, but a pyramidal with 3 stories on the main hall. It is also supported by wood pillars which in Javanese called saka. The four main pillar are called saka guru.
Besides the main prayer hall, there are also prayer hall which dedicated to female which called pawestren and a semi profane hall on the front part that was called serambi. Just like the roof on the main hall, the roof on the serambi and pawestren also supported by wood pillars.
This mosque was also where some royal ceremonies held. Especially if it's related to religious ceremony like garebeg sawal and mulud. The front gate of the mosque also inspired by Mughal architecture, and the minaret also inspired by sayd qutb minaret in India with modern twist.
