Indo Islamic Heritage
Khetwali Masjid (also known as Tajul Masajid - Khetwali Masjid or खेतवाली मस्जिद) is a modest local mosque situated in the Rikabganj locality of Faizabad (now part of the Ayodhya region), Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a place of worship for the local Muslim community and is open 24 hours for prayers.
Khetwali Masjid is a neighborhood mosque located in the bustling Rikabganj area of Faizabad, which forms part of the twin cities of Ayodhya-Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh, India. Unlike the grand historical mosques associated with the Nawabs of Awadh or Mughal-era structures in the region (such as the former Babri Masjid or Moti Masjid), Khetwali Masjid is a smaller, community-oriented place of worship primarily serving local residents. It reflects the everyday Islamic heritage in this historically significant area, where Hindu and Muslim cultural influences have coexisted for centuries. The mosque is well-regarded locally, holding a 4.5 rating based on visitor reviews, and remains accessible around the clock, accommodating daily prayers and communal gatherings.
