Situated in Chitanpura Bagh, one of the historic residential neighbourhoods of Mau city, Masjid Bagh-e-Firdaus is a congregational mosque that continues to play a significant role in the spiritual and social life of the local Muslim community. The mosque accommodates the five daily prayers, Jumu'ah (Friday prayer), Taraweeh during Ramadan, Eid prayers, Qur'anic recitation, and other religious programmes throughout the year. The name Bagh-e-Firdaus, meaning Garden of Paradise, reflects the mosque's devotional and spiritual identity. In addition to worship, the mosque serves as a community centre for Islamic education, charitable activities, and neighbourhood gatherings, strengthening social cohesion within Chitanpura Bagh. Architecturally, the mosque follows the traditional North Indian style of neighbourhood mosques, featuring a prayer hall, mihrab, minbar, and ablution facilities.

Its significance lies primarily in its continued role as a living institution of faith and community service.
