Indo Islamic Heritage
Kewde Wali Masjid is a local mosque located in Rani Bazar Colony, Faizabad (now part of Ayodhya district), Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a place of worship for the local Muslim community in this residential area.
Kewde Wali Masjid (possibly also referred to locally with variant spellings like Kewda Wali or similar) is situated in the Rani Bazar Colony area, a bustling neighborhood in Faizabad. This local mosque primarily caters to the daily prayers and community gatherings of residents, embodying the quiet continuity of Islamic traditions amid the region's diverse religious landscape. Unlike the more famous historical mosques in Faizabad—such as Jinnaaton Wali Masjid (one of the oldest in the district, dating to the 19th century) or those built under Nawabi rule—Kewde Wali Masjid appears to be a simpler, community-built structure without widely recorded grand historical events or royal construction. Specific details on its year of construction are not prominently documented in available historical records, suggesting it may be a relatively modern or mid-20th-century local establishment rather than a centuries-old monument. The mosque contributes to the cultural fabric of Faizabad, a city rich in Awadh's Nawabi legacy, where Islamic sites coexist alongside Hindu pilgrimage centers. Visitors interested in lesser-known local heritage can explore it as part of understanding everyday religious life in Uttar Pradesh.
