Indo Islamic Heritage
Angoori Masjid (also spelled Anguri Masjid) is a local mosque situated in Manhari (or Manhari area), Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. It serves as a community place of worship for the local Muslim residents in this region known for its historical Nawabi and Pathan influences. As a modest local mosque, it reflects the everyday religious life in rural/urban Uttar Pradesh rather than being a major tourist or monumental site. Specific historical details like the exact year of construction are not widely documented online, suggesting it may be a relatively modern or lesser-known local structure, possibly from the 19th-20th century or earlier community-built era.
Farrukhabad district in Uttar Pradesh has a rich Islamic heritage, influenced by Mughal, Nawabi, and Pathan rulers who established settlements and religious sites in the area. The region around Farrukhabad (including nearby towns and villages) features several mosques tied to local history, though many are community-level rather than grand architectural landmarks like those in Agra or Lucknow. Angoori Masjid is one such local mosque located in the Manhari area of Farrukhabad. Manhari is a locality within or near the main Farrukhabad city (also known as Farrukhabad-cum-Fatehgarh), close to landmarks like Nakhas Road and areas with mixed residential and commercial use. The mosque functions primarily as a neighborhood prayer space (masjid), catering to daily prayers, Friday congregations, and community gatherings for the local Muslim population. The name "Angoori" (meaning "grape-related" in Urdu/Hindi, similar to Angoori Bagh in Agra Fort) might suggest a historical or naming connection to gardens, vineyards, or a local landmark, but no direct evidence links it to grand Mughal gardens. It remains a simple, functional mosque typical of many in Uttar Pradesh's smaller towns and villages—likely featuring basic architecture with a prayer hall, mihrab (niche indicating direction to Mecca), and possibly a small minaret or courtyard.
