Jamia Masjid Kahara is a mosque situated along the Thathri-Badanoo Road in Sichal village of the Bathri/Thathri area in the Doda district, within the Jammu and Kashmir union territory (PIN 182221). It is listed among the mosques serving the rural communities around Thathri and Kahara, and appears in regional mosque directories as Jamia Masjid Kahara, indicating its active role as a congregational mosque in the region. The mosque acts as a place for the five daily prayers (Salaat) and the important Friday Jumma prayer, and is used by local Muslims for religious gatherings and festival observances such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. While detailed historical documentation — such as the exact year of establishment or the identity of its founder is not widely published in mainstream online or academic heritage sources, its repeated inclusion in directory listings shows it is an established place of worship in the hilly and rural setting along the Thathri-Badanoo route.
