Indo Islamic Heritage
Sahan Wali Masjid Hussain is a neighbourhood mosque located in Sheikh Damu Pura, Mau. It serves the surrounding Muslim community as a place of regular Islamic worship and congregational prayer. The mosque forms part of the living religious heritage of this historic urban locality.
Sahan Wali Masjid Hussain is situated in Sheikh Damu Pura, within the urban area of Maunath Bhanjan. The mosque serves local residents for the five daily prayers, Jumu'ah (Friday prayer), Ramadan worship, Eid observances and other religious gatherings. The name “Sahan Wali” may refer to a distinctive courtyard (sahan) associated with the mosque, its local setting, or a traditional neighbourhood designation. “Hussain” is a devotional name associated with Imam Husayn ibn Ali (RA), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). However, the name alone does not establish a particular historical association or date of foundation. The mosque's importance is primarily connected with its continued role in the religious and social life of Sheikh Damu Pura. Like other neighbourhood mosques in Mau, it can be understood as a living Islamic heritage site, where worship, community interaction and religious traditions continue to take place.
