Madina Masjid in Purani Basti, Korba, is a well-known local mosque that serves the spiritual and communal needs of the Muslim population in this old settlement of the city. Located on Rani Road / Purani Basti area. The mosque has historically been a centre for five daily prayers, Jumu’ah (Friday) congregations, Quranic recitation, and religious education for children. Over the years, this masjid has become an anchor for local Muslim families — a place not only for worship but also for community gatherings during Islamic festivities, such as Ramadan and Eid. Its structure and design are modest, consistent with standard neighbourhood mosques, making it an easily accessible spiritual space for the people of the Purani Basti area.
