Jamia Masjid Ahle Sunnat Jamat, Samarlakota is a prominent congregational mosque located at Jaggamma Garipeta, Samarlakota, in Kakinada district of Andhra Pradesh. Established by the local Sunni Muslim community, the masjid has long served as a central institution for Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat followers in the town. While precise archival records of its founding year are limited, the Jamia Masjid evolved alongside Samarlakota’s growth as a railway junction and trading settlement during the late colonial and post-independence periods. It functions as the principal venue for Jumu‘ah (Friday) prayers, Eid congregations, and major Islamic observances, and has also supported religious education, sermons (bayans), and community welfare initiatives. Architecturally modest yet socially significant, the mosque stands as a marker of the enduring Islamic presence and communal harmony within Samarlakota’s diverse urban fabric
