Mosques
There are currently no mosques in Bhutan[citation needed], which makes it the only country, along with Monaco and Slovakia which doesn't have mosque.[1][2] The current Muslim population of the country, along with other non-Buddhist religion, pray at a small prayer hall built in Jakar.[citation needed] In 2008, the Bhutan Muslim community built a mosque called the Jaigaon Mosque in Jaigaon, India, just across the Bhutan–India border.[3]
