Masjid Pusaka Banua Lawas

An old mosque located in Banua Lawas village, Banua Lawas sub-district, Tabalong Regency, South Kalimantan. This mosque is also often called the Arba Market Mosque because on Wednesdays (Arba), the number of visitors/pilgrims is higher than on other days. This mosque is busy with visits or pilgrimages by Muslims, including from East Kalimantan. In this Heritage Mosque, in addition to the original beduk and 110 cm long petaka are still preserved. No inscriptions have been found regarding when the mosque was founded, but it is estimated to have been built in the 17th century initiated by Khatib Dayan and his brother Sultan Abdurrahman (from the Banjar Sultanate centered in Kuin). Khatib Dayan was assisted by Dayak community leaders, including Datu Ranggana, Datu Kartamina, Datu Saripanji, Langlang Buana, Taruntung Manau, Timba Sagara, Layar Sampit, Pambalah Batung and Garuntung Waluh.
