In local directories it appears simply as Noor Masjid in Sidhra Housing Colony, indicating active use by residents for regular prayers. The mosque serves the local Muslim community by hosting the five daily prayers (Salaat), the Friday Jumma congregational prayer, and communal observances during major Islamic festivals such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Milad un Nabi. The name Noor means “light” in Arabic and is commonly chosen for mosques to reflect spiritual guidance and faith. While specific historical records — such as the exact year of its establishment, founder, or any formal architectural heritage documentation — are not widely published in mainstream sources, its regular presence in local listings shows it is an established and functioning mosque serving the Sidhra neighbourhood and surrounding sectors. It acts not only as a place of worship but also as a community gathering space for residents of Lower Ragoora and nearby parts of Sidhra.
