Indo Islamic Heritage
Masjid Anjuman is a local mosque located on Nehru Road in Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a place of worship for the Muslim community in this historic city, which was founded in the early 18th century during the Mughal era. While not among the most prominent historical Islamic sites in India, it contributes to the region's diverse religious heritage.
Farrukhabad, a city in Uttar Pradesh established in 1714 by Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash (a Pathan governor aligned with Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar), has a rich history influenced by Mughal and later colonial rule. The district features several mosques and Islamic architectural elements reflecting this legacy, though many are lesser-known compared to grand sites elsewhere in the state. Masjid Anjuman, situated on Nehru Road, is one such community mosque in the heart of Farrukhabad. It functions primarily as a local congregation site for prayers and religious activities. Detailed historical records about its construction are limited in public sources, suggesting it may be a relatively modern or locally built structure rather than a protected Mughal-era monument. Unlike prominent historical mosques in nearby areas (such as Kot Ki Masjid in Shamsabad or others in the region), Masjid Anjuman does not appear in official heritage lists from the Archaeological Survey of India or state tourism records as a major historical site.
