Masjid E Zeenat is a neighborhood mosque located on 3rd Line, beside Bowdy Municipal School in Pottur Vari Thota, within Guntur city, Andhra Pradesh (PIN 522001). The mosque was established by the local Muslim community to provide a dedicated space for five daily prayers, Friday (Jumuʿah) congregations, and key Islamic observances such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha. The name Zeenat—meaning “beauty, adornment, and grace”—reflects the mosque’s aspiration to be not only a place of worship but also a center of spiritual refinement and moral guidance. Over the years, Masjid E Zeenat has also supported Qur’anic recitation, religious discussions, moral guidance sessions, and neighborhood fellowship, helping foster unity and social cohesion among families and youth in Pottur Vari Thota and adjacent localities. Its presence contributes to the rich religious and cultural diversity of Guntur’s urban landscape.
