Indo Islamic Heritage
Masjid-E-Farooqui (also spelled Masjid e Farooqui) is a local mosque situated in the Baqar Ganj area of Lathi Mohal in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a community prayer space for residents in this part of the city. As a modest, neighborhood-level mosque rather than a major historical monument, limited detailed historical records are available online, but it stands as an example of local Islamic religious architecture in the region.
Masjid-E-Farooqui is a community mosque located in Baqar Ganj, Lathi Mohal, Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. Fatehpur district, in the southern part of Uttar Pradesh, has a rich history influenced by Mughal and pre-Mughal Islamic presence, though major landmarks like the famous Jama Masjid are in nearby Fatehpur Sikri (a UNESCO site built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century). In contrast, Masjid-E-Farooqui represents the everyday religious life of local Muslim communities in smaller towns. The mosque is a typical local place of worship, likely serving daily prayers (namaz), Friday congregations, and community gatherings in the Baqar Ganj neighborhood. Specific historical details such as the exact year of construction are not widely documented in public sources, suggesting it may be a relatively modern or mid-20th-century structure compared to grander historical mosques in the state. It is not associated with major shrines, Sufi saints, or large-scale architectural features like domes or minarets seen in prominent sites.
