Indo Islamic Heritage
Colony Wali Masjid, also known as Kanshi Ram Colony Wali Masjid, is a local mosque located in the residential area of Haibat Pur Garhia in Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a place of worship for the Muslim community in the neighborhood and is a modest, community-oriented Islamic site rather than a major historical landmark.
Farrukhabad, a city in Uttar Pradesh founded in 1714 by Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash during the Mughal era, has a rich Islamic heritage with several mosques reflecting the region's historical ties to Afghan-Pathan rulers and later colonial influences. While the district is known for older sites like the Kot Ki Masjid (Shahi Masjid) in nearby Shamsabad (built around 1302 AD), Colony Wali Masjid is a more contemporary mosque situated in a modern residential colony. Popularly referred to as Kanshi Ram Colony Wali Masjid, it is located in a developed urban neighborhood and functions primarily as a local prayer hall for daily congregations and community gatherings. Unlike grand historical mosques with intricate Mughal architecture, this masjid caters to the spiritual needs of residents in the surrounding areas, embodying the everyday Islamic cultural fabric of Farrukhabad.
