'''Beemapally''' is a region within the city of [[Thiruvananthapuram]] in the state of [[Kerala]], [[India]]. Beemapally is famous for its mosque, Beemapally Dargah Shareef, which houses the tomb of Syedunnisa Beema Beevi, a woman believed to have divine powers, and her son Syedu Shuhada Maheen Abubacker. Every year there is a festival held to venerate Beema Beevi which attracts thousands of pilgrims from all faiths and castes. The tomb of Beema Beevi, the lady with miraculous powers who is believed to belong to the [[Prophet Mohammed]]’s family, is located at the mosque.<br />

==Annual Urus== <br />
Beemapally Mosque is famous for its annual [[Urs|urus]], which attracts scores of pilgrims from all walks of life. The festival, which marks the death anniversary of Syedunnisa Beema Beevi, starts on the first of Jama dul Akbar and continues for the next ten days.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.yentha.com/news/view/1/Beemapally-Urus-Tomorrow | title=Beemapally Urus Tomorrow | accessdate=21 March 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190321022400/http://www.yentha.com/news/view/1/Beemapally-Urus-Tomorrow | archive-date=21 March 2019 | url-status=dead }}</ref> The celebration begins with the hoisting of the customary flag of the mosque in front of the elders and other devotees. The devotees carry money in pots adorned with flowers and incense sticks. The pot’s opening is swathed in white cloth, and a garland is fastened around the neck. The pots are daubed with sandal paste, which is why the festival is called Chandanakudam (sandal pot). Many religious discussions are held in the mosque, art forms like duffmuttu are performed, and Islamic devotional songs are performed outside the mosque. On the final day of Chandanakudam Mahotsavam, a flag from Beema Bibi’s grave is taken; there is a grand procession with caparisoned elephants and the music of the [[panchavadyam]] (five instruments).<br />
