The nearest major railhead is Gwalior Junction (the city’s principal railway station). Local city buses, autos and shared transport run along Bahodapur Road and through Mewati Mohalla to Lashkar and central Gwalior. The closest airport is Gwalior Airport (Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia Air Terminal), roughly 10–12 km from Vinay Nagar / Bahodapur depending on route
Hanfiyah Masjid — locally listed also as Bahodapur Wali Masjid — is a neighborhood mosque serving the Mewati Mohalla / Bahodapur area (Vinay Nagar) of Gwalior. It appears repeatedly in Indian local listings and maps under both names, which shows it is an established local religious centre (used for daily prayers, Jumʿah and festival congregations) and is recognised by mapping services and travel directories. Directory entries list the mosque as open 24/7 and give the address as Bahodapur Rd, Mewati Mohalla / Vinay Nagar, and local Travel/Map platforms use pins for it — which confirms it’s an active community mosque rather than a purely informal prayer spot. Local planning / civic documents and area profiles treat Bahodapur and Mewati Mohalla as an established locality within Vinay Nagar, and the mosque sits within that urban fabric (the area appears in municipal documents and Smart City / MOHUA reports for Gwalior). There are no widely available published historical narratives, scholarly articles, or archival records online that give an exact founding date, a named patron, or an architectural history for this particular mosque — that level of documentary detail appears not to be digitized or publicly posted. Practically speaking, the evidence points to Hanfiyah/Bahodapur Wali Masjid being a locally important, community-run mosque (possibly maintained by a local committee), notable on maps and directories and used for social services and religious life in Mewati Mohalla; for a firm historic record (founder/year), you’ll likely need to ask the mosque caretakers, check local Urdu/newspaper archives, or consult municipal land/records offline.
