Overview
The second mosque after Kudi Luang (กุฎีหลวง) is located by Bang Luang Canal, also known as Bangkok Yai Canal side close to Charoenphat Bridge (สะพานเจริญพาศน์). Formerly called Kudi Lang (กุฎีล่าง, "Lower Mosque") because it was located on the south of Kudi Bon (กุฎีบน, "Upper Mosque") which was situated on Chao Phraya River bank close to the Phra Racha Wang Derm (Thonburi Palace), the monastery's name has been changed to the present one since the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) when Charoenphat Bridge was constructed. The building was built in Manila-styled and gingerbread, and is decorated with fretworks.
The Charoenphat area is the most populated quarter of Chao Sen Muslims. The area is annually used by Chao Sen Shia sect Muslims in the religious ceremony during the Islamic month of Muharram.[1]
For the word "Kudi" or "Kadi" (กะดี), as defined by the Royal Institute Dictionary means "The cottage of priest, monk and meaning place of worship of Islam Shia sect".[2]
