Indo Islamic Heritage
The nearest railway station is Indore Junction Railway Station, which connects Khajrana and the broader city. Local buses, auto-rickshaws, and shared transport service Ilyas Colony Rd and adjacent lanes, providing access to the mosque. The closest airport is Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport, Indore, located roughly 8–10 km away, depending on route and traffic.
Masjid e Badremillt Jamia Ghausiya Garib Nawaz is a mosque in the Khajrana locality of Indore, named with honorifics that indicate its spiritual alignment: "Badremillt" suggests a connection to Badr (a place or symbolic reference in Islamic history), Jamia indicates that it holds Friday congregational prayers (Jumu’ah), Ghausiya refers to a spiritual lineage connected with the Sufi saint Abdul Qadir Gilani (also known as Ghaus al-Azam), and Garib Nawaz is a title that means “friend / supporter of the poor,” commonly associated with the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. Together, the name suggests that this mosque serves not only as a place for ritual prayers but also as a center for Sufi influence, spiritual teachings, and social welfare. It likely attracts devotees seeking spiritual counsel, reading of Quran, Qawwali/Bhajan type gatherings, or communal assistance. The mosque is situated in a residential lane (Ilyas Colony Road) in Khajrana, making it integral to the local neighborhood. Although I did not find a documented founding date or the founder’s name in the sources available, the mosque’s inclusion in local mapping (via the plus-code PWMG+95Q) and listings demonstrates it holds significance among Indore’s religious institutions. Over time, it plausibly underwent renovations or expansions to support its combined role of worship, community service, and spiritual mentorship.
