Indo Islamic Heritage
Shahi purani masjid kasna is a historic local mosque located in Kasna Village, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Beloved by the local Muslim community, it serves as a place for daily prayers and communal gatherings, reflecting the village’s longstanding Islamic traditions.
Shahi Purani Masjid in Kasna Village is one of the older mosques still standing in the rural-urban fringe of Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Its name — Shahi (meaning “royal” or “of the rulers”) and Purani (meaning “old”) — reflects the local community’s regard for it as a place of longstanding worship and cultural continuity. While the mosque does not appear in major academic or heritage documentation, local community sources and visitor photos confirm that substantial parts of its old walls and gumbad (dome) remain intact, suggesting that it predates many contemporary neighbourhood mosques in the area. The mosque serves as the primary prayer centre for daily five-time prayers and Friday (Jumuʿah) congregations in Kasna Village, anchoring the spiritual life of the local Muslim community. Its architecture, though modest, exhibits traditional mosque elements common in older rural mosques of North India — including a central prayer space oriented towards Mecca and simple ornamental features. The mosque is often visited by residents and passers-by alike and has been referenced in local mapping and travel guides as a point of interest within the village. Shahi Purani Masjid is part of a broader cluster of Islamic places of worship in and around Kasna Village, reflecting the region’s multicultural fabric and the role of mosque institutions in community cohesion.
