Amethi Masjid is a modest yet significant local mosque located in the Amethi Kohna village/neighborhood within the Farrukhabad tehsil of Farrukhabad district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Farrukhabad itself is a historically rich city founded in 1714 by Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash, named after the Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar. The region has a layered history dating back to ancient times, with influences from the Mughal period, including architectural and cultural remnants like forts, ghats, and places of worship. This mosque functions primarily as a community or local (neighborhood) place of worship for residents in the Amethi Kohna area, which lies close to the banks of the Ganges River near historic sites like Ghatia Ghat. While Farrukhabad district boasts a blend of Hindu, Muslim, and Buddhist heritage—evident in sites like ancient temples, stupas, and Mughal-era structures—local mosques like Amethi Masjid play a vital role in daily prayers, Friday congregations, and community gatherings. Specific historical accounts or grand architectural features of Amethi Masjid are not widely documented in major sources, suggesting it is a traditional, functional mosque rather than a prominent monumental one like the larger historical mosques in other parts of Uttar Pradesh.
