Jamia Masjid Umar is a mosque located in Vidhata Nagar, Trikuta Nagar, in the city of Jammu (PIN 180012). It appears on mosque listings and local directory databases as Jamia Masjid Umar, indicating it is a recognised place of worship in that residential area of Trikuta Nagar. ([turn0search15]) While detailed historical documentation such as the exact year of establishment, the identity of its founder, or specific architectural heritage is not widely documented in public sources, the mosque functions as a central spiritual centre for the community. As a Jamia Masjid (which literally means “main mosque”), it typically hosts the five daily prayers (Salaat), Jumma (Friday congregational prayers), and Islamic religious gatherings during festivals and important events. The name Umar denotes reverence within the Muslim community, and the mosque’s presence in a developed urban neighbourhood like Vidhata Nagar — which grew as part of Jammu’s planned residential expansions — shows it plays an active role in the religious and daily life of local residents.
