The Saigon Central Mosque, built by the South Indian Muslims in 1935, is an immaculately clean and well-kept island of calm in the middle of bustling Dong Khoi area. In front of the sparkling white-and-blue structure, with its four nonfunctional minarets, is a pool for the ritual ablutions required by Islamic law before prayers. Only half a dozen Indian Muslims remain in Saigon today; most of the community fled in 1975. As a result, prayers - held five times a day - are sparely attended, except on Friday, when several dozen worshippers (mainly non-Indian Muslims) are present.
