Shahi Masjid at Chatri Chowk, located near Gopal Mandir and opposite the Sandalwala building in Lakherwadi, Kamri Marg, Ujjain, is a small but historically rooted local mosque serving the Muslim community of the old market area. While it does not have widely recorded architectural or historical documentation, it is known locally as one of the older mohalla-based masjids built to cater to the traders, craftsmen, and residents of Chawri and Khasgi Bazar. Its location in the heart of Ujjain’s traditional marketplace—just beside the famous Gopal Mandir and the heritage zone of Chhatri Chowk—suggests that the mosque emerged during the late 19th or early 20th century as part of the organic settlement patterns surrounding the Maratha-era temple and commercial lanes. The mosque continues to function as an active neighbourhood prayer space, maintaining its simplicity and serving as a spiritual and communal center for daily prayers, Islamic gatherings, and local religious life.
