Cauder Mohudeen (born c. 1759) was a ship mandoor or foreman from Porto Novo, which the Tamils called Parangipettai and the Muslims Mahmudbandar, about 50 kilometres south of Pondicherry in India.

Another renovation in 1930 gave the Kapitan Keling Mosque its present appearance after the previous design was deemed impractical.

Among the major work during this period included doubling the height of the central prayer hall, improvement to the ventilation system, and allowing more natural light to enter.

The interior aisles are formed by a series of horseshoe arches, crowned with King Edward's plaques.

The façade of the building and its interior were decorated with geometric designs, as human and animal forms are forbidden in Islam.
