“A Shivalinga and two Nandis (bulls) were engraved on the Rasa, Arab world’s oldest mosque.”
What FACTLY found
There is no mention of ‘Rasa’ anywhere in the list of ‘Oldest mosques in Arab world’. Also, the mosque with the name ‘masjid agung sang cipta rasa’ is located in Indonesia and has no Shivling or Nandis engraved on it. All the evidence indicates that the viral picture is related to some unknown structure in Karnataka, India.
