The nearest major railway station is Indore Junction Railway Station. Local city buses, cycle rickshaws, and auto-rickshaws traverse Rajwada, Peergali, Fruit Market, and nearby roads, allowing accessibility. The closest airport is Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport, Indore, about 8–10 km away, depending on the route and traffic.
Khalamaa Masjid, located at 43, Peergali, Fruit Market, Rajwada, Indore (PIN 452002), is a well-known mosque in the old city area, especially in Rajwada and Peergali. It is frequently listed in local mosque directories with that address. The mosque opens daily (until ~9:00 pm) and has drawn public attention through user reviews (about 3.9/5 from 49 ratings) as a neighborhood mosque in a busy market district. Its location in the fruit market / bazaar indicates that it caters not just to residential worshippers but also market traders, commuters, and passersby who may use it for short prayer breaks while working nearby. The name “Khalamaa / Khalama” (sometimes spelled “Khala Maa” in old references) is also used in photographic and architectural archives, where it is presented as the “Fruit Market Mosque.” Though I did not find well-documented historical archives stating exactly when it was founded or by whom, older images suggest that this mosque has a long presence in the Rajwada / Fruit Market area and may have been part of the mosque infrastructure of the old city. Being in a congested bazaar, its structure is likely compact, with a prayer hall and essential facilities (ablution area, entrance corridors) rather than extensive courtyards, and probably has had multiple repairs or renovations over time to adapt to the busy surroundings.
