Srambia

A srambia or niskarappalli is a kind of small mosque, built in the Kerala architectural style, found in the state of Kerala, India.

A srambia is distinguished by the smallness and antique value of the property.

Often, the srambias were built by a single family or hamlet.

The unique features of a srambia include its very small size, extensive use of timber in the building's construction, often located in a paddy field, and have access to a body of water, such as a pond.

Many of the srambias are threatened by the threat of modernization as people ignorant of their importance are razing them and replacing them with concrete structures.
