For air travel, the nearest airport is Raja Bhoj International Airport, Bhopal, situated roughly 12–13 km from the site.
Masjid-e-Kanchwali is a small neighborhood mosque serving the Muslim community around Pul Bogda Road—near the Grand Hotel—in Nehru Nagar/Kewra Bagh within Bhopal’s Peer Gate Area (plus code: 7C56+HGG). Local listings confirm the site as an active masjid with daily prayers and a modest compound marked by a dome and minaret typical of Old City mosques; however, no reliable public source documents a formal founding year or detailed early history. In practice it functions as a local place of worship for residents and shopkeepers along the Pul Bogda corridor, with Jumu‘ah and the five daily salah; for a precise establishment date you’d likely need to consult the mosque committee or Waqf records.
