Shahi Masjid in Ghukna (Nandgram) is an active local mosque that serves the spiritual and social needs of the Muslim community in this residential area of Ghaziabad. The title Shahi Masjid — meaning “Royal Mosque” — reflects its importance as a main congregational mosque in the neighbourhood. The mosque provides space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — allowing worshippers to pray together throughout the day. On Fridays, Shahi Masjid hosts the Jumuʿah prayer, which includes a sermon (khutbah) followed by collective prayer, attracting larger gatherings from Ghukna and nearby localities. Like many community mosques, it also plays an active role during significant Islamic occasions such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha, when extended prayers, sermons, and community interactions take place. While the mosque may not be featured in formal historical heritage records, its consistent use and positive local reviews demonstrate its significance in daily religious life. Architecturally, neighbourhood mosques like Shahi Masjid are typically designed for practical congregational use — a prayer hall oriented toward the qibla (direction of Mecca), open or covered spaces to accommodate worshippers, and facilities such as wudu (ablutions) areas to support daily worship.
