Markazi Hanafia Jamia Masjid is located in Gurwaith Kalan village, under the Yari Khah area of Budgam district, Jammu & Kashmir (PIN 191111). The mosque functions as the central (Markazi) Jamia Masjid for Gurwaith Kalan and nearby hamlets, primarily serving the Hanafi Sunni community. There are no verified written historical records or inscriptions presently available that confirm the exact year of establishment or founders of the mosque. Like many village Jamia masjids in central Kashmir, it is believed to have been established through collective community participation to meet congregational, religious, and social needs. The mosque plays a vital role in Friday (Jumu‘ah) prayers, Eid congregations, Ramadan activities, religious education, and community gatherings, making it a key religious institution in the locality.
