The nearest major railway station is Gwalior Junction, which connects Lashkar and surrounding areas.

Masjid Molvi Abdul Gaffar Sahab is a mosque situated in the densely populated Naya Bazaar area of Lashkar, Gwalior, close to DAV School on Huzrat Kotwali Road. While there is no readily available public record specifying the date of its founding or detailed biography of Molvi Abdul Gaffar Sahab, the mosque appears in local directories and mapping services (such as Wikimapia and OneFiveNine) as an established place of worship. It has a modest but active presence, used for daily prayers, Friday congregations, and community religious activities, serving the local Muslim population of Lashkar. Given its location in Naya Bazaar, which is one of the older commercial/residential zones, it’s likely that the mosque has existed for several decades, functioning as a neighborhood spiritual center rather than a major historical monument.
