The mosque was named after the ‘kapitan’ of the Keling (a leader of the South Indian community similar to the leader of the Chinese community), Cauder Mydin Merican. The whitewashed mosque is topped with large golden-yellow Mughal-style domes, crescents and stars and features a single, typical Indian-Islamic minaret from which the sound of the azan (call to prayer) can be heard.
Non-Muslim who wish to visit, then mosque officials will have to grant permission. Visitors are only allowed entrance if they are properly attired: for women this means longs pants or skirts and shirts and men.
