Nagina Masjid is a neighborhood mosque located on Ibrahim Street in Surya Rao Peta, one of the older residential and commercial areas of Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh (PIN 533001). The mosque was established by members of the local Muslim community to provide a dedicated space for five daily prayers, Friday (Jumuʿah) congregations, and significant Islamic observances such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha. The name Nagina—meaning “jewel” in Urdu/Hindi—reflects the community’s affection and reverence for the mosque as a spiritual center. Over the years, Nagina Masjid has also supported Qur’anic recitation sessions, basic religious instruction, moral guidance, and neighborhood fellowship, helping strengthen social bonds and shared faith among families and youth in Surya Rao Peta and nearby localities. Its presence contributes to the multicultural tapestry of Kakinada and underscores the continuity of Islamic devotional life in the city.
