Farrukhabad, located in Uttar Pradesh, boasts a rich Islamic history tied to its founding in 1714 by Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash, a Pashtun noble loyal to the Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar. The city features several historical mosques, tombs (such as the Tomb of Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash himself), and other Islamic sites from the Bangash dynasty period. Amid these, Qabaristan Khairati Khan stands as a local cemetery and mosque complex, highlighting the everyday religious life of the Muslim community in the region. Qabaristan Khairati Khan refers to a graveyard (qabaristan) in the Khairati Khan area of Farrukhabad, which includes a local mosque. It is situated near Umar Bin Khattab Masjid and is listed among mosques and related sites in the Barhpur vicinity. The site functions primarily as a burial ground with an attached or nearby masjid for community prayers, typical of many neighborhood Islamic sites in Uttar Pradesh towns with Mughal and post-Mughal influences. Unlike grand historical structures like the Jama Masjid in Farrukhabad or the nawabi tombs, Qabaristan Khairati Khan appears to be a more modest, community-oriented place without extensive records of grand construction or specific historical events. It represents the enduring presence of Islamic culture in Farrukhabad, where local mosques and cemeteries continue to serve residents for daily worship, funerals, and remembrance.
