Indo Islamic Heritage
Umar Masjid, Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh is a modest local mosque serving the Muslim community in the Kashmiri Gate area of Firozabad. It is a neighborhood place of worship rather than a major historical monument like the grand Mughal-era mosques found elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh.
Umar Masjid (also referred to as Masjid Umar) is a community local mosque located in a narrow lane (Gali No. 20) off Kashmiri Gate in Firozabad, a city renowned as India's glass and bangle capital. Named likely in honor of Umar ibn al-Khattab (the second Caliph in Islam), it functions as a daily prayer site for residents in this bustling urban locality. While not a centrally protected heritage site or a grand architectural landmark, it represents the everyday Islamic religious life in this part of Uttar Pradesh. The area around Kashmiri Gate features several mosques, reflecting the diverse cultural fabric of Firozabad.
