Masjid-e-Tajushshariya is a neighbourhood mosque located in the Rizvi Mohalla and Bharra Basti area of Bokaro Steel City, within the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand. It lies in a mixed residential and market sector of the city, and its postal code is 827013, which corresponds to sections of Bokaro Steel City that form part of the Chas and Bharra neighbourhood network. Masjid-e-Tajushshariya is identified in local mosque directories among several Islamic places of worship found in Bokaro, and is known for its active role in the daily spiritual life of residents.  Although no authoritative historical documents or online records provide a precise year of construction for Masjid-e-Tajushshariya, its development reflects the pattern of many community-established mosques across Indian urban centres — emerging organically with the growth of residential localities rather than being founded centuries ago. Bokaro Steel City itself was developed significantly during the late 20th century as part of the industrial expansion of the region centring on the Bokaro Steel Plant. In such environments, mosques like Masjid-e-Tajushshariya often arise through collective community efforts as neighbourhoods expand.  Situated at approximate geographic coordinates 23.6455° N latitude and 86.1710° E longitude, Masjid-e-Tajushshariya supports the five obligatory daily Islamic prayers (Salat) and becomes a focal point of worship during Jumu’ah on Fridays, when larger congregations gather for communal prayer and the sermon (khutbah). The mosque also plays an essential role during prominent Islamic festivals such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha, when community members come together for extended prayers and festivities, reinforcing social bonds alongside religious observance.  Functionally, the mosque features a prayer hall oriented toward the Qibla (direction of Mecca) and provides facilities for ablution (wudu) for worshippers. While it is not ranked among India’s historic or archaeological heritage sites, Masjid-e-Tajushshariya is deeply meaningful to the local Muslim community in Bokaro, embodying the living religious traditions and communal ties that define neighbourhood mosque culture in urban India.
