Indo Islamic Heritage
Imam Bara Masjid is a notable congregational mosque located in the Imam Bara area of Jhanjhari Block, Gonda, Uttar Pradesh 271001, India. It functions as a key spiritual centre for daily prayers, Friday (Jumuʿah) gatherings, and community religious activities for the Muslim residents of the locality. The name Imam Bara often indicates the mosque’s association with a larger settlement or historic neighbourhood known by the same name.
Imam Bara Masjid stands within the Imam Bara neighbourhood — a part of Jhanjhari Block in the urban ensemble of Gonda city. The term Imam Bara in northern India commonly refers to areas historically centred around an Imambara or Shia congregation hall (often serving Muharram observances), suggesting that this mosque may historically be tied to such traditions, although specific historical records for this particular structure are limited. As a community mosque, Imam Bara Masjid provides a place for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — enabling local residents to perform their religious duties in congregation. On Fridays, it hosts the Jumuʿah prayer, which includes the khutbah (sermon), attracting worshippers from Imam Bara and surrounding urban lanes.
