Indo Islamic Heritage
Eid Gah, Unchi Dankaur is an open congregational prayer ground located in Unchi Dankaur, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. It is primarily used for large Islamic congregational prayers, especially during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, and holds significant importance for the local Muslim community.
The Eid Gah at Unchi Dankaur serves as a major religious gathering space for Muslims residing in Dankaur and nearby villages of Greater Noida. Traditionally, Eid Gahs are open grounds designated for large congregational prayers held twice a year during the Eid festivals, allowing the wider community to assemble in a single place for collective worship. This Eid Gah follows that long-established Islamic tradition and continues to play a central role in the religious calendar of the area. Situated on the outskirts of the settlement, the Eid Gah accommodates large crowds that cannot be contained within neighbourhood mosques. On the mornings of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, worshippers from Unchi Dankaur and surrounding localities gather here for the special Eid prayers, followed by sermons and community greetings. The space also reflects the social fabric of the region, as Eid prayers are often attended by multiple generations of families, reinforcing community bonds and shared cultural identity. Although the Eid Gah does not possess elaborate architectural structures like domed mosques, it typically includes a mihrab-marked prayer wall or a simple raised platform for the imam, along with open ground aligned towards the qibla (direction of Mecca). Like many traditional Eid Gahs across North India, it is maintained through local community efforts and continues to function as a symbol of collective worship, unity, and religious continuity in Dankaur.
