Jama Masjid Barbil, located in Barbil, Odisha (PIN 758035), is a prominent Sunni Hanafi mosque serving as a central place of worship for the local Muslim community. Though the exact date of its establishment is not clearly documented, it likely emerged in the late 20th century as the Muslim population in the industrial town grew, particularly with labor migration linked to the mining sector.
