Indo Islamic Heritage
Lal Masjid is a mosque located in Dujana village, Jhajjar district, Haryana, India. It is identified by the map code MJMF+23X and is listed as a historical landmark in local map directories. The name Lal Masjid translates to “Red Mosque” and may refer to the use or appearance of red-coloured building materials; however, the specific origin of the name has not been independently verified. The mosque forms part of the village’s local religious landscape.
Lal Masjid is situated in Dujana, a village in the Jhajjar district of Haryana. Dujana has a distinctive historical background: it was formerly the centre of a small princely state ruled by Pathan Nawabs. Historical accounts of the village describe surviving buildings from its Nawabi period, making the area significant for understanding the region’s local architectural and cultural heritage. However, the precise construction date and historical patron of Lal Masjid at the supplied address require further verification. The name Lal Masjid, meaning “Red Mosque,” is commonly associated with mosques featuring red or reddish building materials, although the name alone does not establish the building’s architectural period or construction history. The mosque is recorded at MJMF+23X, Dujana, Haryana 124102, and a local map listing categorises it as a historical landmark. This classification is useful for identification but should not, by itself, be treated as confirmation of formal heritage protection. As a mosque, the site serves a religious purpose for the local Muslim community. Mosques generally provide space for daily congregational prayers, Friday Jumu’ah prayers, and other religious observances. They may also serve as places for community interaction and religious gatherings. Specific details about Lal Masjid’s current prayer schedule, educational activities, management, and restoration history are not independently documented in the sources consulted. Lal Masjid is therefore best recorded as a locally recognised mosque in Dujana with potential historical significance, while its exact age, founder, architectural features, and official heritage status remain unconfirmed. These details should be verified through local records or an authoritative heritage survey before being included as established historical facts.
