Indo Islamic Heritage
Hanfiya Masjid is located about 1 km from Seoni Bus Stand, 2.5 km from Seoni Railway Station, and approximately 130 km from Jabalpur Airport.
The Hanfiya Masjid, popularly known as Badi Masjid, is one of the oldest and most prominent mosques in Seoni, symbolizing centuries of Islamic faith and architectural heritage. Built during the late 19th century under the patronage of local scholars and noble families, the mosque follows the Hanafi school of thought, which influences both its name and its spiritual traditions. The structure stands out for its grand design, with multiple domes, arched gateways, and a spacious courtyard that accommodates a large number of worshippers during Jummah (Friday) prayers and Eid gatherings. The walls of the mosque are adorned with traditional Islamic motifs, and its tall minarets reflect the grandeur typical of Mughal-era architecture. Beyond its religious role, Hanfiya Masjid serves as a cultural and educational hub, hosting Qur’an classes, community meetings, and interfaith dialogues. The mosque’s legacy continues to inspire devotion and unity among the residents of Qazi Mohalla and nearby areas.
