Musholla Al Mukasyafah, Bagorejo Village, Srono District, Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, Indonesia.

When I went to Bagorejo Village in Srono District, I found something that attracts my attention, an unique Musholla (a tiny mosque) that called Musholla Al Mukasyafah. The uniqueness was the architecture concepts of the musholla. When most of mosque used middle east architecture concepts, Musholla Al Mukasyafah preferred to exposed itself in Chinese Temple style. When I saw The Musholla Architecture concepts, I guessed the residents around The Musholla were Chinese. I was wrong, majority of residents around The Musholla were Javanese.

How a mosque in the Javanese neighborhood had Chinese style? Perhaps, the main contributor to the cost of construction was a Chinese? Were also not. The Musholla did not have anything with the Chinese ethnic or specialty ethnic. The Musholla built in 2010 by local youth with financing surround communities. The idea style of the Musholla obtained when local youth need to renovation the Old Mushola that only 4x4 meters, And they want to built a unique Musholla and other than another. They searched on internet, and found the Chinese Temple, and finally, they preferred to built Musholla like the Chinese Temple.

To built The Musholla, spent 175 millions rupiahs, with 4 millions rupiah initial capital and additional donations that collected by building committee from local residents around The Musholla. It only took six months to completed all the process of renovation. The Musholla had a new unique look and conspicuous. With red and green dominant color, residents around give The Musholla's nickname "Red Mosque". And some called The Musholla to "Dragon Fruit Mosque" because The Musholla style deemed identical with Dragon Fruit.

With position overlooking the water canal, arched bridge connecting roads and The Musholla adds to the uniqueness of the Musholla. So, other than as a place of worship, it was also exciting to be a photographic object or place for selfie. The presence of The Musholla added to the list of Mosque with Chinese Temple style in Indonesia. Because, If i searched in google, in fact I can found The Mosque with Chinese Temple style spread across several regions of Indonesia which reflect Chinese and Islam acculturation in Harmony.
