ablution fountain

Mosque cleansing station

An ablution fountain is a water feature in a mosque courtyard where Muslims perform ritual washing before prayer.

The fountain typically has multiple spigots around a central basin, allowing several worshippers to cleanse hands, face, and feet simultaneously.

Visitors removed their shoes and stopped at the ablution fountain before entering the prayer hall.
