The nearest railway station to Masjid Kolua in Kolua village is Ashoknagar Railway Station, located about 10 km away, while the nearest bus stand is the Ashoknagar Bus Stand in the town centre, roughly the same distance; the closest airport is Raja Bhoj Airport in Bhopal, situated around 190 km from the village.
Masjid Kolua, located in Kolua village on the Mungaoli–Ashoknagar Road (Ashoknagar district, Madhya Pradesh 473331), is a small village mosque that serves the local Muslim community; there are no readily available written records or published histories about its founding or architectural origins, so most knowledge about the masjid’s establishment and early caretakers is preserved through local oral memory. Kolua itself is a small settlement (around 700–800 people by the 2011 census) with basic school and transport links to nearby Ashoknagar town; the mosque functions as a neighbourhood religious and social centre, maintained by residents and community leaders, and further details about its foundation or any notable historical events are most reliably obtained by speaking with village elders, the local imam, or the Gram Panchayat, which may hold informal records.
