Pirbaba Masjid, Khajuriya is a well-loved neighbourhood mosque located in Peer Nagar, Kacheri, Khajuriya, Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh 233001, India. It serves as a key local centre for daily Islamic worship, with space for prayers and community gatherings.
Pirbaba Masjid in Khajuriya functions as an important spiritual and community hub for the local Muslim population in this historic portion of Ghazipur city. As a mosque where residents regularly congregate, it plays an essential role in daily religious life — hosting the five daily prayers and serving as a focal point for weekly and festive observances. On Fridays, the mosque holds the Jumuʿah prayer, a larger congregational service that includes a sermon (khutbah) and brings worshippers together from the Khajuriya and neighbouring areas. The mosque also becomes especially active during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, when increased attendance is seen for Taraweeh prayers (special night prayers) as well as community Iftar gatherings. In addition to its ritual functions, Pirbaba Masjid often acts as a social and cultural meeting place, reinforcing communal bonds and facilitating shared learning or announcements. The name “Pirbaba” may reflect traditional respect for a spiritual figure (Pir), connecting the mosque to local devotional practices.
