Akbari Masjid Highway Masjid is a mosque located at 5CF8+4FC, Mehsana Highway, near Hotel Sun of India, Dharti Township, Palanpur, Gujarat 385001. It is also commonly listed as Highway Masjid and serves the Muslim community and travellers using the Mehsana–Palanpur highway. Local mosque directories identify it as one of the established mosques of Palanpur. Palanpur has a long Islamic heritage, with several of its older mosques dating to the Mughal and Palanpur Nawab periods (approximately 1700–1900); however, there is no reliable source establishing that Akbari Masjid itself dates from that period, so its specific founding year and early history cannot be confirmed.
