Jama Masjid, Tetariya — often referred to in local listings as Badi Masjid, Tetariya — is a neighbourhood mosque situated in the rural village of Tetariya in the Sarath block of Deoghar district, Jharkhand (PIN code 814143). Tetariya is a small village located approximately 7 km south of the Deoghar district headquarters, governed by the local panchayat system within the Sarath region.  The mosque’s location places it within an agrarian and residential setting where local residents gather for daily worship and community interaction. According to local mosque listings, Badi Masjid (Jama Masjid) is recognised as a mosque serving the prayer needs of people in Tetariya and nearby hamlets, with review data indicating regular use.  What is locally called Jama Masjid in Tetariya essentially performs the role of the central mosque (Jamiʿ Masjid) in Islamic towns: hosting the five daily prayers, the Friday Jumuʿah prayer, and special congregations for religious occasions. The broader geographic area of Tetariya falls within approximate coordinates of 24.48° North latitude and 86.69° East longitude, common to rural localities in the Deoghar district region. These coordinates provide a useful geographic reference for the mosque’s surroundings.  As with many local mosques in smaller villages and towns across India, there are no widely published historical records or formal heritage listings specifying the exact year of construction or architectural history of Jama Masjid in Tetariya. The mosque’s significance is therefore best understood through its ongoing role in community life rather than archived historical documentation. It functions not only as a place of worship but also as a community centre where people come together for prayer, spiritual learning, and social support. During the holy month of Ramadan, the mosque becomes a focal point for Taraweeh prayers and Iftar gatherings. On the major Islamic festivals of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, larger congregational prayers are held, bringing together worshippers from the village and neighbouring areas. This communal aspect strengthens spiritual ties and reinforces social harmony within the local Muslim community. Overall, Jama Masjid (Badi Masjid) in Tetariya stands as an enduring part of Deoghar’s mosque network — reflecting both the daily religious observance and the cultural life of its residents.
