Khambhapur Masjid (also spelled Masjid Khambapur or Khambhapur Masjid) is a local mosque situated in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. It serves as a community prayer site in the area.
Khambhapur Masjid is a modest, community-oriented local mosque located in the Khambhapur/Khammbhapur locality of Fatehpur city, Uttar Pradesh. It functions primarily as a neighborhood place of worship for daily prayers and congregational gatherings. While not a major historical monument like the grand Jama Masjid in nearby Fatehpur Sikri, it holds local significance for residents in Ashok Nagar and surrounding areas. Recent references place it in Krishna Colony or Ashok Nagar vicinity. The mosque has an approximate rating of around 3.8–3.9 based on local reviews. This mosque is situated in the Khambhapur area (sometimes listed under Ashok Nagar or near Krishna Colony), making it accessible to local Muslim residents for five daily prayers, Friday congregations (Jumu'ah), and community events. It appears to be a functional, no-frills structure typical of many small-town or neighborhood mosques in northern India, without elaborate Mughal or Persian architectural elements like domes, minarets, or intricate carvings seen in grander historical sites. Limited public historical records are available for Khambhapur Masjid, suggesting it is not among the ancient or officially protected heritage mosques in the region. Unlike some nearby mosques that have faced recent news coverage related to age or structures (e.g., reports of 180–185-year-old mosques in Fatehpur district from the early 19th century), no specific construction year is widely documented for this particular mosque. It is described in local directories as a standard community masjid.
