Chauliaganj Mosque, often simply called Chauliaganj Masjid, is situated on Paradeep Road in the Police Line area of Chauliaganj, Cuttack (Odisha, 753004). Although detailed scholarly histories are sparse, it is recognized locally as one of the key mosque landmarks in the ward and forms part of the broader Islamic heritage of the Dargah Bazar region . Established decades ago to serve the Muslim community around the Police Line and Survey & Agriculture Settlement Colony, it stands in proximity to other historic mosques like Jamma Masjid and Abdula Masjid, reflecting the dense fabric of religious sites in this historic neighbourhood . Architecturally modest yet functional, the mosque likely dates from the late colonial or early post-independence period, built to accommodate local congregational prayers and community gatherings. While it lacks the grand Mughal styling of Cuttack’s famed Qadam‑e‑Rasool shrine, Chauliaganj Mosque plays a vital role in daily worship and the social life of its parishioners, anchoring a culturally rich and religiously diverse area along the Paradeep Road corridor.
