The Unifying Octagon - a photo on Flickriver

            The interior, underside view of the roof of Muhammad Cheng Hoo Mosque, Surabaya, Indonesia.

The mosque was built in 2001, and was named after the renowned Chinese admiral Muhammad Cheng Hoo. Although a mosque, its external architecture and design resembles more of a chinese temple. This unison of two cultures, between Chinese and Islam, represents unity.
