Jalan Masjid India is one of the popular places in this KL city of Malaysia. Why this place or road is famous ? When you visit this place now, you’ll see what I mean. There are many premises that sell Indian stuff especially the garments, clothes etc.

Little India is located near the Masjid Jamek LRT station or Jalan Lebuh (also Leboh) Ampang. This Jalan Masjid India will be overcrowded especially before the celebration of Hari Raya or Deepavali.

If you wonder how this road or place got it name today, this because the existence of the old and unique mosque here that was built by Indian Muslim immigrants more that 100 years ago.
