The Railway Mosque at Mancheswar, Bhubaneswar, is nestled within the Mancheswar Industrial Estate near the railway station on Mancheswar Station Road in Adimata Colony (PIN 751017). Serving the local Muslim community—particularly railway employees and residents of the adjacent industrial and residential areas—it likely dates back to the establishment of the workshop and station developments in the late 20th century. The mosque is not only a spiritual hub but also a cultural anchor in a predominantly industrial zone, reflecting the social infrastructure typically built alongside Indian Railways’ facilities. While the exact year of its founding isn’t widely documented, its presence mirrors the rapid industrial growth of Mancheswar since the late 1970s and the later addition of the carriage repair workshop (established in 1989) and full station (introduced in 2002) .
