Shahi Masjid is a neighbourhood mosque located in Pir Mitha Mastgarh, within the Pakki Dhaki area of Old Heritage City, Jammu (PIN 180001). The mosque is locally known simply as Shahi Masjid and is listed in community mosque directories as an active place of worship in this historic part of Jammu. It serves the local Muslim residents for the five daily prayers (Salaat), the weekly Friday Jumma congregational prayer, and gatherings during Islamic festivals such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Milad un Nabi. While specific historical records such as its year of establishment, founder, or formal architectural history are not widely published in public heritage sources, its name “Shahi” (meaning “royal” or “majestic”) and presence in the old city’s mosque listings show it as a respected spiritual centre within the community. The mosque’s location in Mast Garh reflects its integration into the dense urban fabric of Jammu’s heritage zones, a region with many traditional neighbourhood mosques that support daily religious life.
