Jama Masjid (Markaz) is a mosque located near Madni Chowk on Jawahar Road in the Voharwad area of Lunawada, Gujarat. The word Jama refers to congregational prayer, while Markaz means a centre or focal point. Its local name reflects its role as a gathering place for worshippers and the Muslim community. Online listings describe the mosque as a longstanding landmark in Lunawada. Some visitor reviews refer to it as one of the town’s oldest mosques, and one review describes it as the first mosque in the city. These statements indicate local perceptions of its historical importance, but I could not verify them through a dated historical record or an official heritage source. The mosque’s exact construction date, founder, original patrons, architectural history, and any major renovations therefore remain unconfirmed. The mosque continues to serve as a place of worship and congregational gathering. Its location near Madni Chowk and Jawahar Road makes it identifiable within Lunawada’s Voharwad neighbourhood.
