Positioned near a main roadway, the mosque carries a unique rhythm of devotion shaped by movement and travel. Local residents, shopkeepers, and passersby alike find in it a sanctuary of pause amid the flow of daily life. The five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — echo across the roadside, inviting worshippers into moments of stillness and reflection. Though not a registered heritage monument, the mosque’s placement along a principal road grants it both accessibility and symbolic presence — a reminder that faith accompanies every journey.
