Indo Islamic Heritage
Masjid Ala Noor (also known as Masjid Al-Noor) is a local mosque located in the town of Bhadarsa (also spelled Bhaderasa or Bhadarsa), near Ayodhya (formerly Faizabad district), Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a place of worship for the local Muslim community in this small rural town and is associated with nearby Islamic educational institutions.
Masjid Ala Noor is situated in Katra, Bhadarsa, a modest town in the Ayodhya district of Uttar Pradesh, India (previously part of Faizabad district). Bhadarsa is a rural area located along the Faizabad-Sultanpur Road (NH-330), approximately 16-17 km south of Ayodhya city, known for its agricultural surroundings and mixed community. As a local mosque, Masjid Ala Noor primarily caters to the daily prayers and religious needs of residents in Bhadarsa and nearby villages. The town has historical ties to Islamic education, with institutions like Darul Uloom Makhdoomia Latifia mentioned in directories of Sunni madrasas, located in Mohalla Katra, Qasba Bhadarsa. The mosque is likely connected to such community and educational activities, reflecting the presence of Islamic heritage in this part of Awadh region. Unlike grand historical mosques from the Mughal era, Masjid Ala Noor appears to be a contemporary or relatively modern local structure, with limited publicly available details on its architecture or exact founding. It stands as a symbol of faith in a predominantly rural setting, contributing to the diverse religious landscape of Uttar Pradesh.
